Got out yesterday with my oldest..... wasn't sure what to expect but I was cautiously optimistic. Water temp ranged from 70* --> 74*, which is slightly cooler than when I normally start pulling cranks but got to it, nonetheless.

It wasn't hot and heavy but consistent overall. I don't believe the vast majority of fish have stacked up in the main lake yet so I think we were picking up roamers more than anything else but while the quantity was down, the quality was way up. We started getting picky and ended up bringing home 15 specks that were all 11 1/2 --> 12" (we don't keep anything under 10" or over 12").

The summer Sunday chaos started around 10:30 A.M. and we put the boat on the trailer just before noon. No complaints there!
