<br /> Met up with Alvin after work and we picked up Mike at Chester frost and headed up river to where I had been doing good the past week or so. The fish were there but they were hard to catch today. I think the front really screwed up the bite. We fished Gulp minnows and boated 2 largemouth and lost one around 3 lbs, 14 white stripe, 5 blue cats, 1 channel, 2 drum and one yellow stripe. The whites were holding on the botton of the ledge on the graph below. <br /> Gave up trying to catch bass there and headed to the shell beds. Alvin boated a nice LM around 3 lbs and another one around 2.25-2.5 lbs on powerminnows in about 15 feet of water. <br /> Left there and tried some grass I have not fished this year and got a big fat zero. It was getting late so we dropped off Mike and hit one more grass area. There I boated two more largemouths, a chunky 2.5 lber and another one around 2.25 on Chigger craws.<br /> So totals for today:<br /> 6 largemouths (5 keepers)<br /> 14 white stripe<br /> 5 blue cats<br /> 1 channel cat<br /> 1 yellow stripe<br /> 2 drum<br /> Not a bad day considering the weather. <br /> I would like to apologize to BustinBass197. Although we did not know it they had been fishing the ledge area we fished. They had some backlash issues and with the wind had drifted down the ledge away from the spot we started fishing on. I did not know this and thought they were fishing a different part of the area. Had I know or saw them fishing that spot, we would have went on to another area. Again, sorry for the confusion and next time you see me out come over and introduce yourself.
