After, it should be back to drifting and finding them... but warmer weather always harder for me than winter. Not impossible just harder. But a lot of fun catching them one after another in shallow water right now. Downsize tackle a little if you want more fight! Good luck buddy Ken 2014 Premier Alante 235 RF tritoon. Momma's boat. But I get to fish on her. A country boy will survive... but those who cross him? Cedar Creek personal best: Blue Cat 31.55 lbs Hybrid 6.2 lbs Crappie 2.1 lbs

This Saturday, I may just take a package of raw chicken and just enjoy catching numbers. Bottom bouncing below G Dam can put a lot of eating sized cats in the cooler. Boats are like Strippers. They work until you quit throwing $100 bills at them.
