My wife and I were there too at Settlers Trace. Had to park the truck up the hill and still was a line waiting to launch. We got there about noon. As soon as I launched, I realized that my registration for the boat was on the kitchen counter, decals and all🤬! So we didn’t travel far so as not to get a citation but we found a nice little cove and fished our way back into
it. Water was 60 degrees at the mouth and 64 in the back of the cove. Ended up with 4 keepers and 4 or 5 throwbacks. Fishing with minnows 3 ft deep in 6 to 8 ft of water. Feel sure we could have caught more if we had moved around more but had a great day anyway!
On a side note, we talked to a guy at the Settler’s Trace store that claimed he was at the state ramp and someone tried to steal his boat trailer in broad daylight this morning. Everyone be aware, these big crowds attract people with bad intentions!
