Grand Fishing Report Facebook group growing; good guide pics. Thanks GRDA (ecology, safety, tournament organization); Grove Walmart; L&L Outdoors in Jay; fishlucke.com.
Crappie
Not seeing heavy gull dive at Shangri-La — unsure how deep the shad kill is. Dock fishing Lucky Bugs on 1/16 oz — Moonshine (chartreuse/white) on a white head; no Live Scope, just fun. Always start in the darkest spot in the dock (boat lifts can make it hard). Tri-color jig heads; new painted cable-guard weedless heads coming (four colors, four sizes) for brush.
Paddlefish
Good — power trolling to depth. Boats around Sailboat Bridge; historically that stretch to Grace Ranch / mouth of Elk River.
Bass
Nice tournament fish showing (Andy Littlejohn / Po Dunkers–type posts) — bluff walls, long deep points, shad + structure; Live Scope and small swimbaits around shad schools.
New product
Live Motion minnow for Scrounger — Al Fisher design, segmented tail; 2½", 3½", 5"; jig or Scrounger.
