hey Phil..
Here's what I did..

I emptied my tackle bag of all lures so I would stay focused..Goal was to fish 2 shiner rods and read my Bible while waiting. I drove to the local tackle shop to get one dozen medium shiners ..$11.50..The lady likes me and gave me an extra dozen.She does that alot..I arrived on the lake at 5:55 AM and I drove to a deep 12 foot spot between to hydrilla islands.The lady also learned we've been catching bass on Horny Toads and is sending my fishing report to the newspaper..I'll see if it's in Thursday's paper.

6:05 ..I position my boat in the 12 foot area with the wind...between two islands of rocky hydrilla..I cast out my 2 shiners...in the 12 area..I use a slip bobber..with bobber stop to adjust height accordingly...and beganreading St.John chapter 1...Right away one bobber disappears and the rod is doubled..I gently put the pressure on and the fight is on..the bass slapped water on the pages of my Bible..
i boated the 5 3/4 ounce bass
up until 8:00 I caught 5 more and lost about 2 nothing over 2 1/2 All the bass were very plump...
so now I have 6.

8:15 I go back to the clear pit that is 13 - 16 foot..
I caught one dink..that makes number 7. drifting down the middle slowly.
I go back to the first spot 12 foot area between the 2 islands..and I lose 2

9:45 I head toward my Explorer Sport..and stop by a drop off by an isolated island..12 foot deep ..nothing..

10:15The spirit within metells me to try anisolated pond in the woods..only 5 minutes away from my Explorer..a shaded area..in the woods ..as you suggested Phil.It's
only about8 foot at the deepest and hydrilla mats everywhere..lots of boulders and hydrilla mats...with some cat tails on the edges...and a great big gator.

10:30 ..I settled in and threw two fresh shiners in the middle while I tried reading the last chapter for the day John chapter 5. At 10:45 my rod tip is dancing and the bobber is gone..I grab the rod but gently lift and it feels like I'm hung..I play tug a war and let the bass win..A hefty 4 pounder explodes out of the water ..makes 3 runs pulling the drag..I was surprized it was only 4 pounds even ..She fought harder than the first one.number 8

11:00 I'm interupted from my reading as one of my shiners starts dancing on the water swimming away from something..and KA SPLASH...the biggest and loudest blow up I've ever had in my life..[:-]scared the crap out of me..I grabbed the rod to quick..[&o]because with shiner fishing you have to let them run a little..and I missed her..probably my ten pounder.I'll be back if it don't rain this morning

11:30 one of the last shiners...bobber slowly disappears and I boat a nice fiesty 3 pounder ..number 9

Great Day..
