Went down below Chick dam this afternoon ( fished from shore ), not much biting except cats for most folks I saw down there, lots of folks on the pier where tearing up cats in the 3-10lb range on shad.<br />I went the purist route lol .. artificial baits .. I caught 4 yellow bass, 4, white bass, 2 channel cats ( about 2lb ) a rock bass ( goggle eye ) , 1 small hybrid, 2 brim, and half dozen or so spots and smallmouth .. nothing even close to being worthy of a picture , all caught on small white marabou white jigs. All fish were released, except the cats gave them to a couple guys down there.<br /><br />Ive had better days fishing down there but never get skunked down there .. always catch something be it small or large. <br />But I did talk to a few folks that had caught nothing and where heading home .. of course I fished from the sand bar to the dam, those who caught nothing just sat like a lump in one spot .. if you get lucky you can find them that way but most times you need to move around to find the fish.<br /><br /><br />
