Awesome day today

Got out again today for a short trip, forgot the scale     but got on some beauties. It's been warm the past few days, with temps dipping a little bit today but still pretty darn good for April up North. Pitched jigs to shallow wood almost the whole day, and boy did it pay off. Pitched a black Buggs jig with a RI Sweet Beaver on a Dobyns DX 744 to laydowns in 2-4 FOW, got a (estimated) 4, 5, high 6 and lost an 8+ about 7 yards from the boat     . Got a few other small ones on this bite and also got on a few OK ones on the drop with a red eye shad.

The 744 is still fairly new to me but WOW is that an awesome rod, unbelievable sensitivity, caught all 3 of the nice ones on it as well as the one I lost.

Here is the 5 and 6, the picture didn't come out of the 4 for some reason

I am doing a bracket style tournament with a bunch of buddies in my area this year... my first matchup is on Saturday at this place where I have been going all week... Should be fun! could get big bag for the whole year if the bite is on like it was yesterday, I would have had ~25 lbs for 5 fish if I hadn't lost the 8+, which is insane for up here... still had high teens without the 8

Let us know how it goes
