Good to see you again on the water Kevin. I started at 5 a.m. I was letting the 10" fish go and trying to keep 11" or better. I caught at least 4 small fish to each keeper. I fished all day and around 5 in the afternoon, I only had 25 in the livewell and decided to start keeping 10" fish. I used minnows and jigs, fish shallow near the bank in a cove from 10" below a bobber to 24" below. All my fish were caught in less than 4' of water. Water temp was 66 degrees. Fish deep like Whisperer, or fish shallow like me, either way, make sure brush is involved. I lost two fish right before dark that went around 14". I totaled 34 for the day, but could have had a limit easy due to throwing back several 10" fish earlier. The spawn should last awhile longer due to fish still being caught deep.

Now's the time for the part time fishermen/women to go fill their freezers. Go get some!
