John and I spent 3 days on Millers Ferry catching 45 keepers total with biggest fish going 3.2 pounds with most from 1.5 to 2 pounds. Had never fished it in September or in 90 degree weather so it was a learning experience for us. Water moved very little each day,18-19 feet at the Selma, and surface temps ranged from 80 to 84 degrees and visibility was about 2'. White 3/8 oz. spinner baits, SK 4XD crank baits and several plastic creature baits caught all our fish. Spinner bait fish were in 6' or less in a smaller creek while the crank bait produced on deeper edges of the river channel. Hope to go back a couple of times before the end of the year in some cooler weather but still had a good trip with an old friend.
Sounds like you had fun trip. These kind of trips make memories.

Thanks for the report and sound like you and John had a great trip fishing in the heat. ~c~ ~c~
Great memories, John and I have been fishing together for almost 40 years, both tournament and fun, and every trip is an adventure. I just really prefer cooler temps the older I get, 90+ degree days are not as fun as they once were.

I started wade fishing a lot this summer, it really helps to keep one cool. Plus it expanded my bank access. However, I can only do that in certain lakes and ponds down heah in Flawda. ~gator
Too many toothy critters in the water for me to wade around in. If your scared, say your scared!!
havent been down there in years... sounds like the fishing is good though!

If there's a chance that one of them toothy critters (https://www.ultimatebass.com/bass-fishing-forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimageshack.com%2Fa%2Fimg924%2F8620%2FI3WmSr.gif&hash=c0cc938d3025d42757d64f006c2baa4f645149de) (https://imageshack.com/i/poI3WmSrg) is in there no way would I be anywhere near the water.
I thought they drug Millers Ferry ~roflmao or at least that's what my old partner told me had to have happened before his last tournament ~roflmao
Great job! Good Fun!
