Yep.... it's true. Athens is dead..... Except for the 10+ I caught this morning. Bubble Gum Bull Worm on a shaky head was the ticket. Nothing over 3lbs...but tons of fun. Still.... better than not fishing.

I was there this morning too.....no 10 pounders for me. In fact, it was slower for me than normal. I tried to force feed em top water most of the day. They didn't like my suggestion. The frog bite was really good till around 8:30 ish. Then I had to go weightless worm fishing too.
Man.....did it seem hotter than usual out there today? Or, am I just getting old and tired?
I tried buzz baits, swim jigs, c rigs, and Texas. Not a bite on those.

Nope.....no 10 pounders for me either....I caught 11 I think....I lost 3-4 on a frog in the dark. I'm usually not a shaky head kinda guy, but it worked today. Yes....it was warm.

I launched at 6...left at 1. The parking lot was more or less empty both times. No waiting to launch and front row parking.
