Notes

I got there at 7:05 and the gate was not open yet left came back at 7:37, open now. Temp was cold with wind and overcast. Started out with topwater and brown craw. No takers on topwater. Several bites on craw but no hookups. Finally caught a smallie about 10 am and shortly there after a rock bass. About noon I was at an sweeping bend in the river with riprap and deep hole. I pulled 6 out of there and another at my take out place. The other 2 were very small and in a hole caused by a tree stump.
