Tough Lake. I'd try trees in shallow to mid depth in Mcpherson slough as warm as it's been this week. if no luck drift center of Lake.

Don't know exactly, but saw a pic of BIGPOPPA's screenshot and it read 50 a week ago. See where Clinton in your neck of the woods is around 33*
What month was it that you grabbed those fish in Bear Creek?

Well we ended up with 1 fish. Bait was pretty easy to get in 45-50 ft of water. Not stacked up but some decent gizzards. We tried all over the place, but no luck. Just once 5 pounder towards the end of the day.

Not much luck but was good to get out on the water again. The water temp on back of the boat was 59-60.

If you have good electronics with sidescan then I would troll around Mustang Creek cove area in the timber in anywhere from 3-8ft and try and locate fish. or go back towards bear Creek in the super shallows and watch for swirls which normally mean big blues being spooked. Then anchor up and be quiet for 20 min. They will come back. But only fish a spot for a max of an hour tops. Then move and look for more....

Most of the Fish are gonna be in 10ft or less because the Temps are rising and getting close to spawning temos...would also try any of the creek mouths...just a few ideas of what I would do or have done and been successful at before
