went out after work and the water looked good so i threw topwater and came up with nothing but big blowups and all misses, so i went to the gulp shrimp under the popping cork and success

landed nice specks one after another after another. 8 total with 2 small 15" reds. let them all go to come back one day and find them even bigger. back at the pad at 1000.

Man I knew I took the wrong day off from fishing.:banghead I fished Tue & Wed and plan on going in the morning but stayed home today and caught up on some yard work. I stopped by Bear Creek yesterday and nothing for mein the marina, lots of small trout on the west side of the channel. It was about 0900 when I got there with no water movement and very little sign of bait. I should have tried more of the grass.

Good report!

i was throwing a top pup got it in every time i had a strike and had nothing but scales on the hooks, switched the hooks with gamagastsu wide gap 3-0 trebs. but havent tried it yet. they were not on the sand pits at all right in the middle of the grass.
