Stinkbait

Fished the afternoon yesterday. Wind out of the W and NW. Water temp was 65 to low 70s. There is a good reaction bite right now. The water clarity in many places is kaput. The algae blume is just beginning and the water is pea soup. In my opinion perfect. Clarity bad which is good but algae is not so nasty that it builds up on your rods. Caught some skinny post spawners and some decent quality DVL footballs.
Also caught over 30 pounds in channel cats in three fish. If you stopped your square bill grind you had a chance of getting smoked by a 10 plus. Caught them on three different patterns.
Weird though, in a very good windy cove I fished about 300 yards with several types of reaction bites for nada. So the fish are in specific areas with a purpose.....not wide open windy bass everywhere by any means.
No buggy whip needed today. I could of managed all day with just two rods.
