Woke up and heard thunder about 5:45 so decided to go back to sleep. Finally got on the lake about 10:30. Fishing was slow today, tried some weeds first with spinner bait but no takers. Marked quite a few fish on channel edges and flats, but only caught 2 smalls. Stumbled on a crappie school on a creek edge and caught 5 before I lost the school. Appeared to be following bait schools. <br /><br />Rode around prospecting a bit and couldn&#39;t find any bass that wanted to play. Just not feeding right then. Finally about 2:00 I headed back up river and checked a flat/channel edge just off the main channel. Tons of bait and several large cluster of fish stacked up. Finally got them going a little bit with 5 good keeper LM and 1 14&quot; smallie, and a couple of drum. Largest bass just short of 4#. Took quite awhile to find some active fish. I think the thunder, lightning in the early morning shut things down a bit. All bass caught on drop shot gulp minnow. Crappie on BG Shad in blue thunder. All fish returned to the lake.<br /><br />Site won&#39;t post pics again, will try later<br /><br />Regards, Labman
