    Fished shallow all day for a local club tournament on Sunday. Managed only two bites and of those two bites, landed one of them. It was another extremely tough day on the water. Fished docks, laydowns, sand flats, stumps, and lilipads with not much happening. By no means can one not go out and catch a good sack of fish, I've just been having a tough time recently getting on a winning pattern the past couple of weeks. There's always fish to be caught. I'm just finding it hard as of recent figuring out a pattern this time of years with the constant fronts moving in and out on this particular tidal water.

    It was another grinder on Rodman Reservoir. Took out some of my family from Minnesota, but had little success. Fished with shiners on live bait rigs around thick matts of vegetation and managed only a few bites.

      Shad

    Practiced for an upcoming tournament yesterday. Spent most of the day graphing and located some rip rap with hundreds of yards of bait trapped against the rip rap and the several ledges just thirty yards off of the bank. The bass had the shad pinned. A perfect situation in which one can throw some squarebill crankbaits, Z-Man Chatterbaits, and some topwater. Also located some bass located near bulkheads. The fishing is tough right now on the northern part of the St. Johns River. One needs to spend a lot of time behind the graph on a low tide to find key pieces of structure that these fish are keying on right now. The water temp was anywhere between 62-65 degrees yesterday.
