20" LM from today. Caught around 15 LM in 4.5 hours of fishing. Had two more around 17", but most were 12-15"
Had to fish very slow to get bites, ...more both in shallow and deep water. Started too fast...was doing some quick flips around visible cover with a Texas rig, but didn't get bit. Warden stopped by for a chat/check as part of Operation Dry Water. Ended up talking for about 10 minutes (I hadn't seen him in awhile).
After he drove off, slowed down a bit, caught a fish right away, and then I switched my approach. Was doing a 15 count to get bit skipping around the docks and almost a 30 count on suspended fish out deep. Caught fish in 20 inches of water and out of 27 FOW.
Tubes/wacky in tight, flapper grubs out deep. Caught a pair of smaller fish on a soft jerkbait, by, but not under, the docks while dialing in the pattern. Lots of panfish actually laying eggs while I was out.
Cheers,
