Deeper brush piles had nothing on them or 1,2 fish. Hard wood out deeper had a few fish on them but nothing to speak of.... Called my dad and we went to scout for this week after the trip saturday and just wow... was a evening we never wanted to end. Tried a few new areas that I was hoping the fish were moving into and In 2 hours of fishin from 530-730 we had 34 overs and lordy I dont know how many good unders we had. We were spider riggin double minnow rigs over shallow spawning areas and we couldnt keep three rods in the water. Finally ran out of minners and started trolling single jigs and it was same results, only bigger fish. 3-6ft of water was the ticket and males had some good color. This week will be a fun one for those who are out there on the water. As always... I was fishing north.
