    Report: Fished with Chris Hinckley Sunday and Monday. Never got anything solid going. Water cleared up, no good ish shallow anywhere. Caught plenty o smaller ish, and ished deep water down to about 20 t. in areas I had them last week, but still couldnt ind good ones. I hope nasty weather hits again because that seems to be the only time the ish are real aggressive and shallow (at least at this time o year).

    Report: Got out or 2 1/2 hours lastnight and caught one ish- 20 inches and a solid 5 lbs. I was surprised I didn't catch more. Water temperature was 75, nice breeze rom the south, 2 days beore a ull moon, ish inder showed ish 5-10 eet deep and bait ish in the 2-3 oot range. I could see baitish jumping on the surace and every now and then see and hear bass breaking the surace. I was throwing a SuperFluke, Mann's 1 minus crankbait, senko and a chrome rat-l-trap. Nothing. Finally got one to bite on a prop bait!

    Report: Fished the Cottonwood Bass Club tournament both Sat. & Sun with a nice young angler by the name o Ryan. Saturday promised to be a good day or us as I have been ishing Trinity oten over the past two months with very good results, however good days do not start with a broken pull rope on the trolling motor,I was lucky to have a spare one so I ixed that and then my Pinpoint 7520 on the trolling motor quit working so I decided to cap it o with a boneheaded decision to go to the south end o the lake where I have not been ishing, resulting in a day o all small ish and no keepers. By the time o our weigh-in I was hot enough to cook on. Sunday morning I ished some o my avorite spots, while Ryan caught 2 small ish on dropshot I lost two ish on a blade. Some o my spots had already been ish hard yesterday by some o our club and we have some really good ishermen. We inished the day with Ryan having 4 ish and I also had 4 ish with the best a 4.25 smallmouth, total weight was 9.42#. Thanks Ryan or your support and keep on bassin

    Tips: go early and use your avorite reaction bait and cover some water until you ind some bait, or start marking more than one ish and then slow down..i anyone can give me hints how to do better ater the sun is high i'd appreciate it.
