Fishing was inconsistent, but when it was hot it was hot. With full sun and 9000cfs water over the St Cloud dam, most of the bass were hiding in the shade and around structure. Fallen trees produced. Most in our group had little luck with topwater. I love the weight and pitch-ability of the Yamamoto 6" stick, in green.
