    Made it out this passed weekend and managed to catch some eyes up shallow after dark. Our best night was on the north and north west side. Ended the night with 8 eaters and 6 overs. Best baits for us were tenn shad and glass perch HJ12S. Durring the day the lead core rods took the spot light. A fair number of slots and a few jumbos fell for #5 shads in 19-24 fow. All the fish sure look to be real healthy.

    Those look like some bruisers. I had a friend take me out on Sunday afternoon/night. We only managed 6 in four hours. One was a fat 21+. The rest were kinda small. All healthy looking, but kinda short. I think all were caught on a firetiger stick bait at right around 2 mph. We were in 6-10 feet of water on the south end rocks. Anyone going out tonight? I may have to drop the boat in if I can’t find someone to troll with. No trolling motor on my rig, so bobbers only.

    Nice report Jake! What night were you out, I’m sure we passed you once or twice this past weekend up on the north end. Good to see you found the fish.
