My partner and I fished Caresend on Wednesday April 19th.  Right away was happy to see the chocolate milk water color of the previous few trips was gone.  While still muddy there was a trace of green in the color.  Water clarity is a funny thing.  It is always more than you think.  There was a Secchi disk on the dock (the ​standard tool for measuring visibility) and it read 17 inches.  I would have guessed a foot or less. 

We had a great bite most all day.  Set a PB on our best 5 with 41.12.  Best fish 8.66.  Best 10 were 73.18.  Harvested 7 and while we kept meticulous records on big fish we didn’t on total catch.  I think it is safe to say we caught 40 fish though.  Everything came on tx rig and Carolina rig but that is pretty much all we threw.  I am sure other baits would have worked.  Oh, I did catch a couple of fish, including a 5.15, sitting on the dock having lunch on a wacky rig. 

Truly an awesome day and really the bite was on, better than perhaps any time I have been here.
