A few years ago, at our Spring Fling, MRDux/rnvinc were catching good fish Pulling cranks. I Pushed jigs in the same general area & caught fish. We were both fishing out in the middle of the lake !! Many of the other people fishing were catching them in shallow water upriver. Many decades ago my buddies and I were catching Slabs right next to the bank in front of the State Campground (ie: the beach) in less than 3fow. Last year, Onready & I were catching our fish in 5fow, and others were catching them in <2fow.
The fish are probably just getting into pre-spawn mode, after the muddy water & falling water levels ... so, yeah, they're probably gonna be scattered.

I fished Green this afternoon and kept 15 pulling jigs. Threw back at least 50 smalls. Females were about to burst with eggs, staging and ready to move shallow. They’’re pulling the lake down hard. Water temp 58-60.

With the weather forecast it looks like as good of a week as any to make a few days on the water.
