All of the fish I've caught in that cove were in shallow water close to the shoreline. When I caught those fish in the first hour I was there I would cast out as far as I could ,but I all my bites came close to shore. The fish I caught later in the day I would see cruising the shoreline and I'd cast out in front of him and get a bite. Every time I'd pull him in I'd see one or two drawn in by the commotion. On Monday I was lucky enough to unhook the fish quick enough to get my lure in the water before left.
I noticed these guys on Sunday and thought they were shad hiding in the shoreline. Saw them again on Wenesday and realized they were bluegill. Most of the fish I caught out of that cove had eaten small shad and few had eaten some small bluegill. One had three crawdad claws in its stomach. First time I found anything but shad.
