I only had two hours before dark, but what the heck, needed to run my boat. Was a nice afternoon, little wind, water was clear. I had wanted a Beaver type bait and picked up something recently that kind of looks like it, a Mister Twister something. It looked so good, I thought I would catch a boatfull. I could see the bait in the water, water was so clear. No luck. I also tried another color and also a spinner bait. Finally decided heck with this, go with the old faithful -- a fluke. I couldn't find any in the boat! What! I finally found a couple of used ones and threw them and caught two, lol. I caught the first and he inhaled it so I kept him cuz he was bleeding bad and then thought, heck, I need another so I can have lunch. I finally got him. Lost two other good bites too, don't know why.

Anyway, not much time but it was nice to be out. I actually got my motor started and it ran great all day, yippee! Other fishermen I talked to didn't do much good, which surprised me. It was 77 degrees yesterday with a front coming in, I figured they would really bite. Maybe they did yesterday morning.

Salvinia wasn't bad, I went up to midlake area. Lots of bloomy stuff dropping off cypress and tupelo trees but it really didn't hamper anything. Surprised salvinia wasn't worse.

Thanks for the report  Saturday was a weird day here. Cross and Caddo were reported at tough also. Which like you said with the front coming in, you'd think they would be chomping anything we through.
