I thought about you actually, I was marking schools away from the wood as well and was thinking you would drill them dragging cranks through them.

First spot I idled over was loaded and only took a couple more stops to get to 20. Heard several people say the spawn was over this week, I had almost talked myself into believing it, Lol. Couldn't be further from the truth. These prespawn fish came from 20-30fow and were alot closer to the mainlake than the spawning banks.

What do you think is the spawn ending of over? Or has it really started yet? Just curious of what u think cause I have no idea how to tell?

Been doing it for 3 weeks. I got tired of the shallow bite changing daily and moved back out to deeper water and went with what I have the most confidence in---cranks. I am yet to see a female that has spawned or a tail that has been rubbed down from fanning.

Yesterday was the first time the females eggs were bloody and off color......but was taken in 15 fow.

I took ninety percent of my catch this year from deep brush. None were ready to drop their eggs.

Wednesday was 90% white females in 15ft of water ...

Every female still had eggs that didn't even look close to ready ...

I think these bigger whites will spawn deeper ... Too many dang carp cruising' the surface ...

Congrats and thanks for the report.
