Had a late start this morning because my alarm did not go off. It appears to be a case of operator error. The landing in town was closed for repairs so launching took place at the one on the other end of the lake. The duckweed was solid and thick and it stopped up my tattle tail that squirts water to tell you the water pump is working. Not a real problem, just a pain in the rear. Fishing started at 7:15 and was slow to start. I fished the outside trees and finally caught 2 one being a 2 pound monster that was the FOD. A  DT-6 was my weapon of choice but I also had on a DT-10 for a few occasional casts to the middle of the lake. After those 2, it was slim pickings. About 9:30 I finally came to the 72 spot  from a few weeks ago. Right away it looked as if it was on with the DT-10. The first fish had 4 or 5 more trying to take the bait out of its mouth. The wind was blowing so I tried the old tie up to the tree trick. A few more were cooperative but it was obvious things were slowing. The fish were still around but not as many as I hoped for. I could tell the school was moving around and when I lost them again I turned on the side imaging on the depth finder and saw the fish out a little deeper. They had had enough and would not bite.  I’m mad at myself for not pulling out the Alabama rig. It might have been the ticket. Never caught another after trying two more places and coming back to the 72 spot again. Was on the trailer at 12:30 and 12 bass.
