Rained pretty good right before I went out a couple hours before sundown, then again while I was out. Fishing from the bank casting to clumps I could see, could decent ones hit my lure right after busting through or by some fairly thick stuff.

Caught seven or eight largemouth, broke off three, two decent smallmouth, and a couple perch. Pretty overcast day with a few sunny breaks. Fairly constant breeze. Pretty clear water with a few murky patches from some runoff. Most were pulled up from maybe ten feet or less.
