Water Clarity: 1 foot
I sat down to write a report and crash, bang, boom, my hard drive bit the big one. Fortunately I was able to back up just about everything before I just couldn't get to it anymore.
Tuesday AM Bob Brewster came back for a 1/2 day so off we went to the Farm. Working our way south in the 1st N/S ditch we managed a few and then we moved over to the center N/S ditch. We entered about half way between the north end and the intersection. I don't think we were there more than 3 minutes before we spotted the first shad bust.
With rattle traps we went to work and by quitting time at noon we boated 50+ bass to 3.5 pounds. It was a great memory for Bob to take back to Kansas and the making of a very successful day for us.
The shad busts seem to be coming with more and more regularity and although they are not coming throughout the day the timing has been consistent. Each day the busts that we have seen have been happening between 10:00 - 11:00. When they do, grap you trap and have a ball. If they stop hitting the trap, toss the anchor and go to a Carolina rig or a Texas rig, or a Florida rig and pick away at them. We have also had some success with a wacky rig. In every case our best plastic has been the Senko.
Top water baits will work extremely well when the busts are active and chug bugs, buzz baits, and walkers will all do well. I understand that the buzz bait has been doing quite well so it is a good idea to have one at the ready.
See you on the water. Say hi if you get the chance.
