5:15-7:pm this afternoon, really mild and pleasant. The water came up another 1'+ from yesterday, clear, but with more flotsam, and the current was ripping. About 10-12 on the bank, but most of them were concentrated downstream. For good reason. One shad in a bucket near my post, but none on the bank. At the "crowded end", I saw one guy land 4 between 5:30-6:40 pm, and a couple of more by another guy before I left. The shad might be holding in a hole, or eddy due to the strong current.

Tackle,as yesterday: Penn 4400 SS spinning reel, mated to a 6'0" Ugly Stik Med-Heavy action, Elite one-piece rod.

Terminal Tackle: 1.5 oz drail, over 3' of 8# flouro leader, and a hammered silver orange/yellow, and a hammered copper green w/black dot.

No fish today, but at least I didn't lose any terminal tackle. Tight Lines!
