Mickey and I hit the ramp at 6:00 this morning. We had a good spot in mind for this water stage. There was nothing there early but we tried some other places and were going to come back. At one of the other places we managed to catch one but the lake is still mighty high for our spots. We then came back to the starting spot and caught a small fish and a stripe. We just couldn’t get it to happen today so we headed for home. Tried 6 spots in all and one of those twice. Two bass, not very good.

EDIT: I found out that a tournament was won later this week at our starting spot. We only fished 10 feet deep at the most. The fish were caught 15 to 20 feet deep on plastic. Once before at this time of year, I remember the fish going deep. It seems early for that to me but I’m not going to forget the lesson learned.
