Not much catching to report from this trip - managed a few shorties, but can't really say we put a pattern of any kind together. It was tough.

Found our fish holding tight to cypress stumps/knees w/ senkos. They wouldn't touch a buzzer, spinner, or crank banged off of the trees. Had to be slow. The bites we did have were pretty aggressive.

Didn't have much luck on docks or shallow brush piles except for a few hybrid hook-ups (they were herding shad against the bank).

We did mark a lot of fish along the first drop towards the main channel, mostly between 7-10'. Fish were holding on the deep side of brush piles along the drop. Did not have a takers on deep divers but we did manage a couple w/ c-rigged and t-rigged plastics (had to have some red in it). Key was to fish slow. When you thought you were fishing slow enough, slow down some more.

Connerlly Bayou was chocolate milk. Didn't spend any time in there. Ditch Bayou was a bit better but there wasn't any water moving. A few shorties off of wood w/ senkos.

Water level is at normal pool - a pleasant change from last year. Water was 79 at launch; 85 by 1 PM.

Tight lines.
