If you launch at the park, you won't even have to crank big motor. You will see the beach (mid lake). Across from the beach, other side is waggoners pocket, before you go in waggoners, that whole area is a big mouth off the main lake. The river channel makes several S turns in that mouth. Depth is 13 to 17 ft over there, Saturday we caught em there from the time we got there, and left em biting. Spider rigging single jigs, 10 ft deep, .4 mph. Try to stay close to Channel. I have a GoPro vid of it, don't know if you can load them on here.

Good Luck and get a depth finder, hard to fish without one.

It's already on. I caught a mess of slabs yesterday. Caught a ton of dinks too. Got out late around 9:45. Headed home at 2:30 and left them biting. Pretty much had to make myself quit. It was fun! Taco Salad on 50ft was killing it! Hotty Totty was ok. Mad Cow produced lots of dinks and catfish. The bass were hitting Spring Craw.

At the risk of sounding dumb, what is Taco Salad on 50ft?

Its a crank bait with 50' of line out to get it to the depth he wants. Glad to hear a cranking report now that I'm back from the TB Gathering I'm going to rig up for pulling cranks. First crank bait fish of the year for me.

I've been doing a little of both jigging and cranking the last couple months. I started a little early when my jig fishing wasn't going so well. Managed to scrape up a few small messes, but Sunday was a good bite on cranks, so I stuck with it. It dawned on me while I was cleaning them that I only took one pic early in the day. Wasn't even the biggest one either. I need to mount my GoPro sometime.
