The fishing was extremely tough with only several bites between the two of us in the boat. The quality bites (2.5lb and greater) came from the crankbaits in 2-7 feet of water. Was making quartering cast to rip rap banks. Some would hit near the bank and others on the last half of the retrieve

Expected fish on beds but did not find them. 15mph wind with gusts to 30 kept things interesting and hard to fish main lake points. Caught one good one off a letdown in the back of a windy cove.
