Got on the water about 5:15 and started with topwaters. Got a couple small fish on LC Gunfish and a few more small ones on a Flappin shad. Topwater not really doing it for me so I went out looking for other stuff. Got a couple of decent 2-2.5s off a rockpile on a drop shot and a ton of dinks. Went over toward the dam and found a nice algae bloom to kill some of the visibility and got into some more dropshot fish, but all were small. The bite really slowed down around 9 am, so I went exploring with the sonar and was able to find two new structure items I was unaware of. One was big rock pile that stcks up about 6 feet off the bottom in the middle of nothing, the other was a steep channel break from 9 feet to 18 feet that was pretty nice looking, and also out in the midle of nothing. I'll have to go back and GPS those before I forget where they are. Picked up the jig and went over to the "new" pile and caught one just over 5, and then cranked it with a DD22 and got railed by one 3+. No more bites after that. I didn't try that channel break that I located, but I will soon.

Water was 71-74 degrees, no wind and VERY VERY clear. About 8-10 feet of visibility. Tons of coontail grass everywhere that the water is less than 10 or so feet. It is quite thick this year. I tossed the frog around some where it was close to the surface, but got no love.
