Finished the workshift this morning and made the run back by home to grab the bank gear, met up with brother Lou at the covenience store near Lavon and then we headed to the bank to see what the morning bite could bring us before the heat set in.
Was set up not long after sunrise and the first fish outta the gate went 18lbs so it was looking like a good start. We caught a few more quality fish through the morning with a few eaters mixed in as well. Definitely a good morning bite which slowed down as the daytime temps started to rise and about 30 minutes before lunch hour a slow bender hit. Reeled down on it and the drag started
ripping before I could get the rod outta the rod holder. The fish held down a bit and after a few good head shakes got it turned and as it got closer to shore it put up a few more freedom attempts but we got it landed ! We ended the day with a 18-14-21, around 7 eater blues, 2 channels and a summer time 47lbr ! Definitely a nice finish to the work week. We fished the shallows around 4-6ft depth using cutter & hooker shad along with perch and all caught fish,47lbr hit a gizzard head that looked like it had been chewed on awhile by a turtle . Looking foward to the next trip allready and hoping the cooler weather gets here soon !
