Took a trip to the lake yesterday, since it was supposed to be such a nice day. The rain had other plans though, but it was nothing a good rain suit couldn't handle. Anyway we generally fish shallower than the reports say and did so yesterday. We caught fish casting, corking, and spider rigging. Depths ranged from 4 fow to 12 fow. We didnt bring home a limit, but sure had fun doing it. Caught our share of short ones too. Good luck!
