Quick report on Saturday's proceedings. Met Chris @Pourboy and Brad and Ryan dark and early, bright was a few hours away. Cooler morning, about 55F, water still pleasant at 68 F. Slight south wind. We all headed out to the main lake body and started getting them on jigs, plastics and some crawler fish for me. Spent the day in Hauser mostly, starting in Becky's. We mostly all threw jigs or plastics, but I spent some time with the popper and the crawler. Those worked well and Brad had some fun in the corner with a mini ned rig. Did a little separate time from the group and had a ball with the jerkbait and the crankbait were tied for success. Met back with the team a bit. I was having fun on poppers and there was a mixed bag of tools the team was using. I was tired so I headed to Wilson's and the guys went to pigs, you'll see in the video coming. I got a good run on green pumpkin jig with a larger trailer. Water temp climbed to 70 F. Air temp was probably a little warmer. Everyone I spoke to was having a nice day and what they were using was working for them. Have fun out there.
Love catching fish in the dark
Still dark...
That's a good fish.
Angry bluegill fought like a larger bass
My big fish for the day.

Is that number legit?
Absolutely! It was close to 100 but honestly, I lost count. I know Ryan got 104 that he monitored closely and Brad had to have a similar amount. I know I got a few less than them, but it was a serious quality day.

Too much fun! Looks like an emerging reaction bite now that the spawn is wrapping up?
