Only caught 8 fish - most of them on a topwater following the shade line in 5-8ft of water (outside of lilly pads). Also caught a few with a texas rigged stickbait around docks. Clear bluebird day with low wind made it tough.

Water temps are heating up. Covering water along the shore lines in 5-6 feet of water produced the most bites using a weightless Texas Rig.
