I started working the center of the 2nd cut, knowing that the grass isn't as thick there, and maybe I could pull a fish from the edge of the grass. No luck. I paddled further into the marsh to areas that I knew would be deeper and possibly hold some fish. No luck for the first hour. I decided at this point, either: there are no fish here, the fish that are here aren't hungry, or I'm using the wrong colors. So I take the Nightruse Matrix Shad off of my Seein' Spots inline spinner, and put a Black with Chartreuse tail on it. First cast, large mouth bass.
Now I've realized that the reason I wasn't catching was because of the bright lure with overcast skies and fog didn't work. As I continued deeper into the winding marsh, I continued to pick up more bass. Finally around 11:30 the sun came out the day started getting hot. About 15 minutes of bright sun and I pick up the first red of the day.
The wind changed direction and the temps began dropping as soon as i released the red back into the water. I decided to start making my way back home by way of wind. I landed a few more bass on the ride in, and another red, making the total 2 reds and 5-7 bass. All fish were released today.
