Hey winghunter, If you check the profile it says NE Ohio, but I just moved from Walnut Ridge. We would typically hit Lake Charles. No Lie man, my buddy and I hit it late april/early early may, and consecutive casts pull out TONS of fish. Believe it or not, we stopped counting after 107, it got TOO hard to count. This was over a 2 hour time span, bout 4-5 in the evening. Hit it shallow with bl/chartruse jigs, if not use metallic blue, depending on water color. But watch out for those snakes, water mocs and copperheads. That same trip we snagged a 4ft water snake, thank god it wasnt poisonous. Not alot of size to them at that point, however it was early season and it was last year, so safe to assume that the size increased.
