I fished a very short solo trip today just doing some scouting for topwater action for tomorrow’s trip.

First stopped at Area 555 and found ample surface activity, but most all fish here were short. Used the cork rig to put 27 fish in the boat by 7:45a. Of these only two were legal largemouth, and one was a just legal white bass.

Moved to Area 203 to see how the sunfish population looked. Due to the loss of hydrilla, there wasn’t much going on here. Managed 2 sunfish on the flyrod and left.

Moved to the SW of Area 56 after spotting some light surface activity here. Caught a few largemouth and a few whites here (which was a bit surprising given how bright it was at this point, just past 8:00a. I set out one tightline with livebait while working the area over with a slab. Managed a nice 3.25 pound largemouth on the livey and 2 short largemouth and a crappie on the slab.

TALLY = 37 FISH, all caught and released
