You did well to limit out in a couple hours....it always takes me all day and usually don't have a limit! Looks like we were fishing a little different pattern than you (shad schools for us) but there's more than one pattern at HD right now.
Thanks Slabby Joe for your response & report in the Ice and Ramp thread.
Sorry, report is a few days old. Had a late start at 12:30, but was able to finish out a limit a couple hours later. Nothing big...just eater-size. Concentrated on brush in 15-18 FOW. Fish came off of one pile on a mix of tubes jigs and an ice jig. Water temp was 37*. Tight lines all.

FAITH, FAMILY, FRIENDS & FISHING...... hopefully in that order but honestly, not always!

I fished HD Monday. Caught about 25, had about 12 keepers. Got there late morning, put in at the crites ramp. I found a few balls of shad here and there, caught come out of the balls. Also caught some in brush piles. A couple guys were leaving when I arrived. They said they got their limits. One of the guys helped me launch the jon boat, I appreciated it. Wish that dock was closer to the ramp! I'm going to hit the water earlier next time.
