5/19-You know where I went....

Yes, after a fun fishing outing on Tuesday with my buddy Joe, I just had to go back to Murray and check it out.
A pretty good start as I caught a bass on my third cast with a fluke. Pretty quickly after that I landed another bass on a fluke. Just a little less than 15 minutes later I was fan casting a Sammy and the water exploded and landed bass number three. I missed a bite on a fluke and threw right back where it bit and landed a small bass. Yep, it seemed at the time that this was going to be a good or maybe great morning of fishing. Then........suddenly, the reaction bait bite shut off for me. It was crazy. I threw the fluke, Sammy, under spins and a small jerk bait and not a bite. It was like someone turned off the bite switch...ha ha I then worked a craw bait off a point and then a ned rig 4" worm.
Finally....a long 2 hours later, I caught one in deeper water on an underspin. I made ton of casts with underspins (and despite @mcfish texting me to throw a drop shot, I stuck to the underspin)and somehow managed a couple more small bass in deeper water. The bass were small but the 7th bass was tiny and since "7" is a lucky number I decided to call it quits after that.
Just a few pics...
This one forgot to wipe the ketchup off after eating...
oh, what the heck...this is the one that @Mcfish
broke off the last time he fished Murray and
thought it was a huge bass.
