fished on may 2nd 2013....slow day... water temp dropped from 75 the week before to 64...cloudy windy and drizzling out.... caught one in 10ft of water. seems the fish have pulled off to deeper water with the change in weather...they were suspending off of channels and secondary points... i was not able to catch them... but it sure is nice to be out... another boater at the ramp said he caught 3 small ones real shallow on senkos....not sure of the truth in that but take it for what its worth... take it easy
