    Like XXLFish, I also had my 15 in an 1.5 hours at Clinton. Caught first eight fish casting a black/purple tail Charlie Brewer slider on a 1/16 jig. For the last bunch I switch to chartreuse/pink slider. Biggest fish was a 13 with quite a few over 11. Most were caught within 10 feet of shore.

    When I cast straight out I had very little luck, but casting parallel to shore was very successful. It seemed like casting angle or retrieval was very important. It didn't seem to matter whether I was casting with or against the current. I also had success flipping the jig and letting it slowly pendulum close to the bottom.

    Depends on the weather, but there seems to be at least a half dozen vehicles at DeWitt bridge most of the time. There is ice on the east side of 48 bridge.
