can you catch shad ?? If so thats your best bet for lots of fish. Look in the marinas under the lights or in the backs of creeks after sun-up
lots of fish around the islands.. birds are starting to work all over the lake.. keep your eyes open. River ledges,flats creeks.... form what I have seen and heard this week, it really doesnt matter. pick a spot that likely will hold fish or in a likely cruising lane and get your baits down. I have noticed that lately the "boat shows " are really worthless. this week it has been the blind leading the blind
Today we got good fish without another boat anywhere near us. You dont have to mark lots of fish to anchor on. if you see bait or small schools of fish set up. that is your likely cruisding lane. it wont be long till more schools come thru.
