    Did well today. Waited out the morning rain and took home a nice amount of big ones. Windy as heck but they were hitting casting minnows to the shore and trolling ...more beetle spins in 12 feet of water. Water was 59 degrees most the day.

    Caught plenty of small ones. Luckily enough decent sized ones to take some home. Had best luck today trolling. I used minnows and my buddy used tubes. Got the job ...more done. 11-15 feet seemed to be the sweet spot. Water temp on the depth finder said 78 degrees. Got in early and left shortly after the entire state of Indiana got there.

    3. J C 0
      Johnny they are up to 8-10ft today. probably move up more shallow as the week progresses.
    4. J C 0
      they were suspended in 30 ft of water over a tree top. water temps have increased pushing them more shallow now.
