Went to the Alley solo before first light.  Upon arriving I realized I had left my phone on the charger at home.  Just decided to stay in the dead end close to the ramp.  The flat was full of Oscars and gar.  Every cast these PITA would mess with your bait.  If you threw treble hooks you could catch a 100 Oscars easily.  I decided to abandon the top water and crankbait and go deep and slow to find bass.  First cast deep they were there.  They were not big but they were plentiful.  It didn't matter what plastic you used as long as it was deep, slow, and close to the drop-off.

By 11:00 I was well done.  I finished with 25 bass, at least that many Oscars, and two big gar.  A fun day even without any big old girls to play with.  I think the bigger bass are gorged full of exotics, which are everywhere!
