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.
