Clark has some big fish! Got out yesterday to Clark. Only got 3 bites all day. First 2 were at about 8:00 am. Got the first in the boat. It weighed 1lb. 14ozs. The 2nd I got to the boat and started to swing her in and the tip of my hook broke off. I was quite PO'ed at that. I had just gotten these new pill jig heads. I powder coated them and tied them up with some different materials. I've broken the tip on 4 of them now. I fished the rest of the day and was about to call it a day when I decided to go back to the pile I got the 2 bites at earlier. Caught the 3rd at about 2:30 pm. It was my personal best. She went 2 lb 7 ozs. It is only my 2nd ever 2lb'er. I released them both at the ramp. I also saw the gulls working the surface all day, all over the lake. Apparently the shad are starting to suffer from the 45 degree water temp. I saw them trying to swim, quite erratically, right below the surface. I saw this every place I fished. Never more than one at a time. I did catch one in my net to see how it measured up to my bait in size. It was almost the same.
