    Report: Well a little slow today.The fish seem to have left the flat's around all the grass.I fished rection and top water for about three hour's.I only had two hit's a a few follow the lure but that was it.Not one boil on topwater and I did not see any boiling at all.Well I then went to the old stand by Anchovie's and I finally cought 6 fish all about three or four pound's.The weather was to nice not a ripple on the water all day.

    Tips: I think the fish moved back out to deeper water,a whole 25'deep.Jig Spoon's or switch to bait.

    Report: Well I ariived about a half hour before sunrise and the word must be out becouse they were lined up ahead of me.Well nobody's was putting in so I did what are we waiting for.Well it was not so good today.Between the new moon and them stopping the pumping in of new water the bite was not very good.I did catch fish but all small 17"-19" all on Rat-L-Traps.There were quit a few boat's fishing the area I like to so the pressure was there also.I lost two good fish one on a Spook and one on the Trap.One odd thing happened that I have never witnessed.The larger fish I lost on the Trap becouse my line broke did the strangest thing.After my line broke that fish thrashed on top of the water for about 15 seconds like it was pissed or something strange.The bait bite was not happenig either and no boils at all.

    Report: Arrived just before daylite and was the first Boat there.Weather was perfect with no wind at all.Fished the first hour or more around the the Ramp and two swim area's.Only had two blowup's on a Zara Spook.Then ran across and fished the Grass on the opposite side.Second cast picked up one about four pound's.Well I ended up catching four more one Six the rest about three pound's.Well that bite went away so I fished a Fluke for another hour but no bite's on it.Then it got hot so I broke out the Umbrella and cought five more on bait.Three were under 18" but two were about Seven.I ended up catching three more trolling a Rat-L-Trap but they were small.Pretty good day and all the larger fish were in great shape and fought real good.Only saw one boil just a fish here and there but they are Striper's.
