Had 8 fish within the first few hours all on a cheap wasp top water crawler off AliExpress. My go to site for cheap BFS gear and tackle. If I hadn’t forgot to pause after each top water take, I would’ve had close to 30 fish.
By 9 AM the top water bite had shut off and I managed to grab a couple more on weedless ned rigs. Anything that wasn’t Texas rig usually ended up with a giant ball of moss.
Stumbled upon a school of ok size crappie on the way back down the arm. They were very eager to bite a small crappy jig one after another. Headed back to the dock after about an hour of that seeing as I had to call it an early day. I didn’t see much point sticking around much longer as the water has gotten much more of a pea green color compared to last time I was here a few weeks ago. The water level was down as well. Some of the coves in the Hauser arm smelled stagnant as if lacking oxygen. No wolf packs to be seen just the occasional one or two here and there nothing worth chasing after.
