I am the same way. I don't know what I am doing this year. Water temp is up and down about 5 degrees each time you go. Some are catching a few in the mouths of the creeks, I am catching a few around the bridges and other places. The females I catch have very few eggs. I don't know if they have spawned and I missed it. The water level has dropped 6 feet over the past three weeks. Some say that are still biting in the deep water. I haven't a clue what I am doing this year.
