Nice Tuesday morning.

Well my insurance check for the boathouse theft came through. Gave the 4 new trolling set-ups their 1st trip today. Fished 6-10 and caught 10 fish, with 1 keeper spot and a good sized white plus 7, 10"-12" spots. All trolling. Caught em on a bandit 300 and Flicker minnow. The water temp was 79-80. Water is the clearest I've seen this year. Found 1  huge school of shad (the blot out the screen type) in front of Joe's creek. White bass and keeper spot came from numerous passes through school. Almost zero surface feeding all morning. Finished morning with a ned bluegill. If you are thinking about new line-counter reels, the Okuma ColdWater series are excellent. Great to be out!

No top water this morning Bill?   I got 5 or 6 tanker spots this morning all on top except one which was on a dropshot from 7-930.  Guess different parts of the lake have things going on.  Glad to hear u got into them??

Dan, I threw a plopper all around the bridge area and points on the north side or the island. Nothin'. Started trolling when the sun got over the trees.

Seems like the wong lure- wrong place. Were you south?

[Dan the fisherman]

Yes sir.  I've been in the south end for a while. I was catching them up in the ventris area but they were al lot smaller.  Seems like the quality is better on the south end.
