I spent about 2 hours out there and caught maybe 20 shad around the ramp (better than nothing.) Also caught this guy. Not a bad day overall lol hopefully this wind will die down soon and I can get out on the kayak for some cats soon.

We anchored on the 2 points on the West Bank just north of that ramp yesterday morning and did alright in 1-2 ft. We caught 20 eaters right in someone’s backyard. After lunch we went and drifted in 30 ft and caught 30 more dinks. My 4 yr old went bonkers. He’s starting to throw his cast net better too! 4 yr old throwing pancakes There is a fine line between fishing and floating around like an idiot!!

I just assumed it was measured by diameter. (Wasn't paying close attention to how big it looked when throwing it. Damn geometry. I guess I'll be buying a new one and taking the 8' on Arkansas trips.
