Hey, Bro. Wondered how you were doing. I got out by myself on Sunday morning, at BJ and the fishing was slow. Lotsa shad spawning early along the shoreline, but no bass chasin' them. Several boats working the shorelines and points but didn't see anyone stick a fish. Still a heavy algae bloom and lots of watercraft traffic. One of the boats said there had been a bunch of jet skiers running around inside the buoy line yesterday afternoon.
See my post on the Float Tubing forum of BFT. I was overrun first by a swimming club, and then by several big boats that pretended I wasn't there. I tried Senkos, C-rigs and drop shotting. No luck. Best I could do was a few yellow bass for the pan on my small jigs. My "inboard" just wasn't up to running up the lake and trying other areas.
Water temp at 6 AM launch was 66 and just over 70 when I got off the water at noon. The algae bloom was so thick I had to plow my way into shore.
Were you able to make that red tinsel work for you at all? How bout any of the jigheads?
