Water Clarity: 2-3 feet

I launched at Redtop well before first light this a.m. and I can tell you, the topwater bite is still on at Toona. I used the spook jr. in bone color to catch 5 nice bass before 9 am this morning. The fish were all on secondary points and very shallow. Some were caught in less than 8 inches of water. If you could find some brush or blow downs along the bank, chances are you going to get a fish or at least a blow up on your bait.

For some reason, most of the "sizeable" heads in Toona that I've caught, have all had sores on them. I don't know if we could have a case of the LMBV in our lake, but I hope one of the fisheries biologists are checking the water because I have caught way too many unhealthy largemouth bass the past couple of years. I wonder if anyone else is seeing the same thing.

Anyway, I did manage to catch a tagged spot but the id number was gone as you can see in the pic. I don't know if they're doing the tagging program this year or not so this little guy may have carried that string for a long time.

After the sun got up pretty good , I went to the jighead/worm and drop-shot for several hours with no luck. I can mark fish on the drop-offs around 20-25ft but I'm having a hard time getting to bite.

Maybe HRUS can give me a few lessons on some spoon fishing... :)
