Went out today and found bait fish by searching for birds, was throwing a freeloader on a vmc hybrid jig head using ffs sonar and only fish to commit was some drum and a catfish. But did get to talk to Ott Defoe at the ramp.

Well blat I got the hammer dropped on me at my dub on fort Loudoun lake today. I knew where fish were got there had it to myself caught several short fish. So I knew I had a pattern finally caught my first keeper then it went dead. Stopped biting stopped schooling shad. Made Arun found schooling huge gizzard shad. Had big fish follow my big swimbait but wouldn't commit. Long story short took one keeper to the scale. I think top 5 was 14, 16, 17 ,19 and 23lbs. I struggle with narrowing down the water and locating these bigger bass. I have to work on my electronics skill set and using the map to eliminate water to get more efficient.
