4/12/21 Windy day with winds to the Northeast. Started out fishing in the flats on the Northeast end, the wind had the water churned up and there were fish everywhere on the livescope, but i'm thinking they were mostly carp. Picked up a couple with a jerkbait there, and then moved to the drops and fished a jerkbait off the ledges, that's when it started to produce. Landed 5 keepers in less than 3 minutes from the same spot. I didn't remember the exact water temp but its in the high 50's. They seemed to be on the windy side of the ledges and schooled up pretty good in 6-10 feet. Blues and ghost colors were my go to.
