    5/16 Binder report.

    Had the day off and thought I would try Binder out. I think I’ve been fighting some sort of flu bug for a couple weeks. Just tired in the morning and body aches,headache ect anyway the plan was to get out early but my alarm went off and knowing I didn’t have to work I shut that thing off and slept another hour Lol.. still on the water by 7am. Water is low, saw 72-73 for temperature. Put the Ultrex on high and pointed it to the back of a cove. As I was going started taking out rods. Once to the back started catching them really good on a swim bait and top water. I caught a lot of 12-13” bass.. Moved out of that spot in search of some bigger fish. Moved north and did get 2 three pounders on a buzzbait. Pretty much covered most of the bank and all the good off shore spots and ended up with 5 keeper bites and 13.05lb total. I also think Binder has a carp problem now. Lots of them up shallow sharking around… should get out tomorrow morning hopefully.

    It was very special for awhile. It’s not that good anymore. Lots of little bass but if you catch one over 4lb you’re doing pretty good and catching 5 fish over 15” in one day is great!! There’s probably still some bigger ones in there but I haven’t caught them for a few years.
