      Report: Sunny, warm and no wind. Fishing very slow. Shad about 40 to 50 eet deep. Bass on worms on points about 30 to 50 eet deep. Texas rig, split shot and drop shot all produced using plastics. Extremly slow presentation. 3 to 5 bites a day is all I can get at this time. Could use a change in weather to shake the lake up. See you on the lake.
