The water is currently 5 feet low making it VERY difficult to launch/load your boat, use caution!! The water temp was higher than I was expecting at 72 degrees. I was able to find them all over the lake, with a frog around pad stems, with a flick shake rig under docks, and with a squarebill on rip rap. They're definitely in the spawning phase as the 4lber had been fanning her bed based on how her tail looked. Overall good day!
