Launched at Kellogg at 7:10. Reading sonar just past the bridge heading out there was no reason to go any further. Lowrance was covered up with huge bait balls - tons of good sized fish and the surface was bustin in every direction. The only live bait we had were med shiners which we put down 4 at a time in 15 feet over a 28 foot bottom - but did not get bumped once. So we trolled around slowly throwing spooks, redfins and lipless cranks at the busters and couldn't get them to hit either. The surface breakers were chasing small shad out of the water and we just figured with all the bait balls below, our med shiners were just outgunned.

We left all these fish (never leave fish to find fish!) since they wouldn't bite and hit Galts Ferry. Not much there but we saw huges schools breaking near the coves and chased them a while with no luck. Headed to the west side of Galts, found a few fish, finally got nibbled but thats about all.

The skunk ruled the day. Looks like we should've made the drive to Lanier
