Boy she's tough...

Very slow going for me today. Fished all my good shallow spots and brush piles...the ones that usually hold shad and bass this time of year...no shad or schooling fish around. Caught 2 super dinks..8in and 5in.. on a senko. Tried topwater, Texas rig worm, hair jig and Ned rig all with no dice. Then I lost one under a dock on a wacky worm. Stopped on my starting spot on my way out...2nd cast got a 1.25lb on a wacky worm. Picked the senko back up and fished it thru a big brush pile. On about my 10th or 12th cast I caught my best fish of the day. Maybe 2.5lbs but had the head and body length of a 3.5...she was as thin as a piece of paper!

sometimes it can be tough, ive noticed that the patterns I see usually favor low light conditions or early morning/evening fishing, mid day patterns can be slow but do-able, just a little tougher. Im having the same problems as you.
