Sounds like the weather going to get warmer as the week goes on. Like Jerry told you look shallow first, then if nothing, drop back to about the 10ft to 15 ft range. That's my game plan for tomorrow.

Fishing over 100 hooks. live shad, cut shad, wieners, hearts, perch. 50 fish 1-20# yellow 3-15#to20# blues. Rest were 1# to 4#. Willis creek area flat out had 5 jugs stolen the first night. All 5 in one set were missing. Talked to someone at ramp who had same problem. Spring break I guess. Never had this happen before, and have fished their for many years.

I have seen people run them over and bust them up with the prop also. I've gotten to were I spray foam in mine, if they hit it, maybe it will stay a float until I find it. Lot of traffic from spring break and the crappie/white bass run. The older guys who fish Granger call this rookie season. When the crappie stop the spawn, it thins down. Hebrews 11:1

Not trying to damage some ones boat. I know they can be hit accidentally at night or when sun is in you eyes. Keep the fish but leave the gear. Ain't cheap to make good jug lines. Hopefully they will get theirs in the rear end. Not really much traffic Friday-Tuesday but weather was mostly poor. Had fun and camped, relaxed and drank a few.

The foam sure does keep it floating for a while and it helps if you have a cat on not to lose it. I figure the catfishing up the river will be slow in the river right now, lot's of boat traffic going back and forth. Wind has been tough on the main lake some days. Should start to get better in April. Nice catch there JM, them some good eating yellow sizes. Hebrews 11:1
