Jackson and I were in the boat this morning at 6:00 and ready to fish. The lake has changed in that there are a lot less lily pads in some places and there is more coontail moss everywhere under the water. It was relatively dark and we really couldn’t see where the pads were so we felt our way until they appeared. I had a Ribbit on because that was the main reason I wanted to go there. Right away a tighteye came from a couple of feet away and made a break at my bait but did not hit it. A short time later the same thing happened but an even smaller fish. At least there was action and we figured that things would pick up as soon as we found the fish. A fish finally hit the Ribbit and got caught but it was not much to it. We were still optimistic. A good bit later Jackson had on a chatterbait and caught 2 in a few minutes of each other. We thought we had it figured out but again we could not reproduce those results. Closer to noon we had a few more bites but only caught one because the fish have to have the bait in their mouth for you to catch them. Most of the fish were just hitting at the bait or grabbing the legs and not really meaning to eat it. We ended up with 4 fish and went home relatively early.
