I took a break from work and hunting this week and decided to fish. It didn't take long to find the fish. I caught a limit both days fishing over brush in 14' of water, using minnows about 5' down. The water temp was 67* Wednesday morning and 71* Thursday afternoon. I also caught several casting jigs. The only problem with fishing minnows was the small strippers taking the rods for a ride. In my opinion, this is the best time of the year to fish. NO BOAT TRAFFIC!
