Comments:

I was exploring for bass tonight and I covered lots of water that was fishless. I started out around Pigeon Island and missed one fish there. I then went to Mud Lake and never had a bite there. I then hit some of the back bays and ponds around Shingle Creek and caught the one largemouth. I did not spend too much time there, I was just exploring. I finished the night out on the main channel fishing for small mouth and that actually went pretty good. I had one real nice small mouth break my line; the current is incredibly strong and so area the small mouths and my mono line was not match to either.

Observations:

The river is finally starting to drop. It is still quite dirty, but the clarity will come with time.
