    Water Temp: 71

    Water Clarity: Stained (2-4 foot visibility)

    Report: Got to Calero about 5 pm and launched in my kickboat. On the third cast I caught a nice 4.3 lber. Also caught a 1.5 in the same area. Fished the shorelines and weeds just about the whole time. There are even more weeds since the lake level dropped about 2 t in the past couple weeks.As the sun was dropping i tied on a new Skitterpop to try the topwater bite. I directed my casts to pockets in the weed beds and landed 8 ish rom 1 lb to 2.5 lbs in the last hal hour. The was the irst time I've caught ish with a topwater... what a rush! I also had about 4 ish blow up on it and miss.
