Toledo 3/23... Day late dollar short

[SaltERedneck]

I guess I "Should've bee there yesterday" as the phrase goes. Weekend rains had the water level a bit higher than expected. Fish were holding tight to beds that were there before the rains. Everything you would expect to see in 3-6 foot was now in 7-9 foot. Had to back off a bit to get bit and found most of the beds in the 7-9 ft range. Huge run off dirtied up most of my spawn flats in the mid lake area. Large amounts of pollen made the clear water, when i could find it, next to impossible to sight fish. Cold front had the fish lockjaw. In addition to that my father in law's boat ran like absolute SH... i . . T.

Did manage to boat a few on wacky worms. Broke off on a giant in some buck brush and lost two more that i couldnt see. Bite was very subtle and if you didnt pull the trigger quick you missed em bc they were spitting the baits quick. Big fish went 4lb. Struggles like these force me into new areas and I love every chance i get to explore.
