Seemed to be relating to breaks in depth and submerged structure. Had a guy fishing near me using cork and minnows doing VERY WELL also,he was fishing submerged brush right of the bank in about 8-10 ft. Water temp was measured as high as 52 degrees.Bite was good until wind picked up about 1:00 and boat control became an issue.Speed varied average about .3 Gonna pull the trigger on a new Terrova or Ulterra trolling motor so I can get better control of boat and trolling speed. This twelve volt motor just doesn't hold up to much wind.

Are they bringing the lake up yet?

No Dave the lake rose 2 feet after the rain we had and they lowered it a few days later.
