Didn't get to post on Sat. so will do now along with a short trip yesterday. Sat. got out with son, Brent, @ 10:30 till 4:30. Concentrated on backs of short sloughs from Soddy Crk. up to Eldridge Slough. Managed 11 on rattletrap & spinnerbait, but only 3 keepers with one 4# on the spinnerbait. The water had dropped another 8-12" from a good trip I had last week & I think many fish had left that 2-3' water, but I didn't adjust. Water temps were 51.5 - 55 in the backs of those cuts.
Yesterday I went back after work to those same sloughs but pulled out to secondary points with about 4-6' of water on top of the point that dropped into 12-15' off the end of the point. Finally got it right, The fish were bunched up staging to move back shallow. Caught 23, 14 keepers, slow rolling a spinnerbait & on a char.- blue Little N. Only got to fish from 5:30 - 8:00. Fished points with the wind blowing up on them. Fish hit the best when the wind was strongest.
