after effects from rain

Hi folks, Guided yesterday morning with my boat on a large lake.  All sorts of debris on the surface of the lake from the recent rain storm.  Water clarity was decent, but not perfect.  Surface temperature was 77 degrees and an extremely humid conditions yesterday.  No wind which made for a good top water bite.  We worked a silver and black popper and a jointed floating rapala fairly close to shoreline.  The water level in the lake was up significantly.  Landed 10 smallmouth but nothing to large.  We did jig fish for a bit in deeper and hooked several bass, but once no monsters.  River levels are still dropping and lloks like some cool nights on the way.  Hopefully our rivers will cool off.  Remember to clean your gear and keep the non-native species at home.  Have Fun, Willy
