Picked up my boat and a tube of crickets over lunch break, got a fishing report from my brother Marvin :D:D around 2:30 or 3, picked up my neighbor at 6ish and had the first fish in the boat at 6:30.

We went thru a tube of crickets in about an hour and a half with 12 solid keepers, a bunch of dinks, 2 keeper largemouth, a channel cat, and non stop action. Was fishing a laydown on the lower end of the lake (good luck finding one of those ) near a steep dropoff that went from 7 - 15 ft of water. Bigger gills came under a fixed float set at 7ft (try that on a 5'6 rod :rolleyes::rolleyes with a bb shot 6 inches above the hook.

After this full moon, they should be on bed and swarmed up around the TWRA attractors that are above pea gravel. We were fishing 71 degree water, but 66 degree water wasn't too far away. Now is a great time to take a kid. You'll catch plenty of keepers if you back off of cover, make a long cast to it, and fish deeper. Hope this helps.
