I was there last evening and saw 4-5 spoonbill caught, guy caught a 40-50 lb fish on his first cast. The amount of dead shad on the bank was crazy 

Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana.

I went down yesterday as well.Fished along the Forsyth side where Phil had found them. Lots and lots of shad from about 15ft to 25 ft. Don't have a Livescope so couldn't see much else but didn't see anything that looked bigger fish. Fished along the shore lost a few jigs to the brush. was about to give up when I talked a bit to a passing boat who was headed out to spoon for walleye. Thought I'd give it a try. Out in the middle of the current then dropped a spoon to the bottom and give it a pull every few seconds. Seemed futile then I saw a few specks on my downscan and soon after had one on. 15" walleye , not legal here. a near by boat with 2 anglers brought a few in so I thought there was hope. Not long afeter I get another this time legal. Hooked a few more but they came loose. It's easy to foul hook them outside the mouth . Then it seemed to die. Headed to the ramp. Let my one lone keeper go.

The answer may not lie at the bottom of a glass, but you should always check

I see. I saw everyone spooning in the current. Didn’t know it was walleye they were trying for. 
 

sorry you didn’t find ‘em. I really didn’t see them on the livescope either. Just would catch one here and there.
