    Had some pretty nice success last night on a walking bait, a Strike King Sexy Dawg Jr. In sexy shad did most of the work, but I also caught fish on a Rebel Pop-R, a Bill Lewis Rat-L-Trap in ghost minnow, and a handful of different paddletail swimbaits on an Owner inshore head, best fish went something on the order of 2-3, and came on the paddletail, but the walking bait got a 2lb fish and probably was overall the most productive lure.

    Took me a good bit to accept that they weren't on a shad bite anymore, but when I finally quit being stubborn and tied on a tube I started landing them pretty close to every cast, just hopping bottom amongst the rocks along the weed edges or crashing through the mats and they were mashing it, best fish went 2lb 13oz and I probably caught half a dozen in 15 minutes. Green Pumpkin body with a bit of blue seemed to be the deal tonight

    Went 10 for 13 or so today on the Rat-L-Trap fished over rocks and ripped through vegetation, picked up 3 or 4 more on a shad colored spinnerbait, and two or three nice fish in the 2-3lb range on a Pop-R in Foxy Shad, all in all not a bad day for roughly 20 fish after work.
