Yep seems like lake is full of 8 and 9 inchers this year. I took my son and went back today around noon for a few hours. Did pretty good until around 2 then seemed to slow for us. We called it quits around 3. I kept a dozen to throw in with what i caught yesterday. Tried for gills for a time too but never really got into them. Think its still a few weeks early forthem where we fished.
