Time fished: 05:30-11:00
Weather: temps rising from low 70s up to high 80s. Light cloud cover and slight breeze.
Water: I don't have a CFS, but the river was low and slightly stained. Good summer level and the temps were in the low to mid 80s
Techniques: slapped some poppers on the banks and dredged with crawfish and minnow imitations.
Results: The summer bite is turning on. We moved about a dozen smallies with two fish up above 15 inches. A couple sunfish came to hand and I rolled a big cat. We approached a deep wooded section and I told my buddy that it looks like good musky water. Sure enough, I hooked a 10 inch smallie on the bank and Mr Toothy showed up and tried to eat him. I will be ready with a musky streamer next drift through there.
