Comments

I was hoping to find some northern pike or white bass that were in the biting mood. We found neither, but the bluegills and drum cooperated. We caught plenty of gills in the east bay, but most were on the small side. There were some other fishermen in the bay that were doing pretty good catching suspended crappies.
After catching our fill of bluegills, we went out to the main river and had our poles bent by drum. The fish were very aggressive and put up a good tussle. We also caught largemouth bass, crappies, sauger, a crappie and one rock bass. As usual the tail water area provided a smorgasbord of fish!

Observations
The cotton wood trees are living up to their name and shedding their cotton looking seeds.
