Jackson and I went to Lake Monticello this morning with great optimism and drove home this evening in disgust.  We started off by the beaver house and I immediately hooked one about 4 pounds on a swimbait.  It ended up jumping and getting off right at the boat.  Could have called “long handled net” but did not. Later Jackson hooked something that pulled drag like a redfish then pulled the hooks loose.  Later in the evening I had three airballs on a Rage Eliminator, two from the same small fish. We fished with many different baits but none worked. I’m glad turkey season is starting Saturday.
