This report is for Thursday.I got out with a regular client from Georgia today,might I say that it was a bit chilly.He got a phone call and had to report to work,so we cut the day short,just as it warmed up enough to be bearable.We did manage to boat 3 nice fish while we were out,a 3 1/2lb spot,a 3lb.lghead,and a 2 1/2lb largehead.We spent more time cleaning ice from our guides and level winds than we did fishing.We caught all 3 fish on crankbaits in a Shad color Slow crankin' and ticking the top of the grass in 5 to 8 ft. of water.
