It was a cool morning with a little bit of haze on the water and the water temp was at 62.7 on the surface when I first put in. There where two kayakers putting in also witch gave me a good morning picture. I found the fish holding in 20' of water waiting for the water to warm. I started with a tube jig under a slip float set at 2' hopeing for a earlly morning jumper but ended up changing to the #5 shad rap and trolling with the bow mount set on 3 speed. It looks like the crappie are starting back up because its getting cooler and I hook up with five nice ones.By this time the water temp has gone up to 77.9 and moving higher as day is getting warmer. I trolled a little and cast a little and as I cross a point in the cove I pick up a nice 18" bullhead catfish and some LM bass then I hook a log and then the lure was gone. So I pick up the rod with the 6" black lizard and started a slow start and stop troll started to catch more bass. At the end of this day I caught and released all my fish in good health for someone else to catch.....woody p.s. I will be back out there tomorrow if the weather permits me too.
