Wind out of the southwest about 11-15mph, temp right in the mid 60's and water temp right around 48. Spent a while getting the boat operating and only had a bit of time on the water before we got chased off by a storm. Caught one good bass in 7' of water on a lipless bouncing through dead grass at the bottom. Didn't find many schooling fish or bait balls while we were out and it didn't seem like they were setting up for spawn just yet. Daughter caught a pike with a Jerkbait as well.
