Saturday the 14th, partly cloudy with winds 2-5mph. Temps in the mid to high 70s. Water temps 70 degrees. From sun up until mid day the topwater bite this last Saturday was fantastic. Locating submerged grass on flats gave me a number of plus size fish. Docks and laydowns were less productive, but held a handful of keepers.
