Well I worked on the site until about 3:00 AM this morning, so I did not jump right out of bed.  I got up and had my daily dose of oatmeal and got ready to head to the lake.  Brian Travis was heading down from NC and I was just going to meet him and show him some deep stuff.  We started around mid lake on an island point and it had everything it needs there: deep water close by, structure on the break, bait in the area but no fish to be had.  Of course we were fishing fairly fast and if we would have slowed down we probably could have found a few.

The next spot was a woody hump.  I missed a pair of hits on the jig and do not know why.  We jumped around the lake and hit a few spots here and there.  I did manage to put a small keeper in the boat on a drop shot with a Cache Custom Lures finesse worm.  That was our only keeper of the day.  We hit a bunch of spots that had rocks and boulders with x-mas trees planted on them but no takers.  We ended up in a cut that has about 60 yards of trees planted in there that were pushed in by a dozer.  They are sitting in 8 to 12 feet of water with bait, bream and turtles everywhere but again no takers.

I think right now if I had to be a boater I would stay shallow with a shaky head, jig and frog.  Just cover as much water as possible and keep moving.

When I got back Travis was there to spend the night so that means all play and no work but I love it.
