Fishing the back side of Paradise Island up in the reeds and submerged vegetation caught 2 today. Tough day, not many bites and the fish weren't where I thought that they would be. Tried many places and different lures and colors of worms and only got bites on watermelon red and watermelon pearl.

Started off today with a frog and 3rd cast it got hit and I missed. Then switched over to the swim n dinger and got a few bites but missed them as well. Then found out the pattern, wood with shade, be it docks or trees. Missed a couple and the wind got up so I made my way down Shingle Creek and the pattern was the same. Caught 10 total with the biggest at 1.96lbs. All but 2 were on wood with shade, others were from under a pontoon boat with shade and the other one was along a grass line. Water was way down, maybe 3 feet and most fish were up very shallow.

Went out today at 1 with my wife and went down into Shingle Creek to try and find her some shade. Got to fish about 40 minutes before she wanted to go, but managed to catch this one, 1.98lbs right up against a stump in probably a foot of water. He grabbed it as soon as it hit the water and made a bee line for deeper water. Got a few good bites but missed and even got a couple of bites on a Thumpin Dinger in watermelon pearl but they must have just been grabbing the tail as I didn't get a hook up. Wood and shade was the pattern again today.

Went out with a local guide and he found the fish. Spent some of the morning with live shiners, but the 2 biggest of the day came off of T-rigged Junebug Trick Worms. It was a great day of fishing.

I was throwing this a lot today, under docks and over submerged vegetation. For the docks, I was bounding in darts, but over vegetation I was high bounding to keep from getting hung. I got this fish as I bounding between two vegetation piles.

South end offshore grass is holding bigger fish. They are roaming early but bury in the grass by 9:30ish. 1oz jig starting to catch fish. There grass is going to be like last summer. There will be so much you have to hunt around to find them.
