Water temp this morning was about 68 at ruark, but ended the day about 72. The water was super clear, even with all of the rain we have gotten. I fished from greaser to googer and up to birch.

The walleye bite was slow this morning but started to pick after 10 am. worms and jigs in 18 to 20 foot of water produced the most fish.

Had some of the biggest bluegill I've ever caught on the lake today. we had several that were pushing 8 inches and were pretty thick. caught them while we were walleye fishing but we actually stopped and fished for them since they were so big. makes for some good eating.

The bass were awesome. we had 5 keepers on jigs in 18 to 22 foot of water. biggest fish was about18" long. No telling how many 13 to 14 inchers we caught.

The crappie are moved off shore and are suspended in 30 foot of water. It's trolling time and it's what i'm going after with my people tomorrow. will be trolling flicker shad and some bandits.

Was reading some of the other post and sounds like there is still alot of love between everyone on here. Maybe someday we can all get together for a big group hug!!

Don't forget, never be ashamed to wear a lifevest!!! I'm getting really close to being booked up thru june, so if you are wanting a trip, let me know before to long. And as always, if you have a boat and just need some advice, give me a call and i will do what i can to send you to some fish.

It's why I've kind of stopped posting on lots of them. If you want some of them big bluegill go out on points in about 19 foot of water. I would downsize the hook cause we missed lots of them. I'm going to try some tomorrow too. theywere as big as your hand.

Bluegill fillets, hit the hot oil and floats up. One of my favorite fish to eat.

Good to hear from you Bob. You did better than me today. We fished from googer to power line to shaw bluff. Water up at shaw was nicely stained with 18" visibility. With it being full moon and still seeing and catching a few ragged tail fish we beat the buck brush to death with limited success. I've stopped by twice to hook you up with the underspins but guess you weren't at home. T/C and see you on the water my friend.
