Butch,

I heard a good trolling report from both our Russell and Hill favorite areas last week. So I tried trolling on Clarks Hill Friday morning and had success during the first two hours of the trip. Caught almost thirty with fifteen good keepers to 12". Tried brush with little success then switched to deepwater dropshotting where I found a ton of perch and small stripers. Water temps between 8am and noon ranged from 67 to 71...so yes, it's prime time!
