Outing was for May 16, 2026. Weather was gorgeous with a strong west wind. High around 80 and clear skies. Water temps from 62 to 66. Panfish and bass were everywhere up shallow, saw lots of bass and panfish on nests. Caught a couple nice ones on a jig and also a small frog. Then also caught a bunch of midsized to small fish. Very nice day!

Went cruising around this evening to spawning flats. Fish were piled around the edges preparing to spawn. I was able to see them on livescope and pitch to them. Didn’t want a jig/minnow combo, very noncommittal so switched to a slow drag ned and that was the ticket. Got my bigger fish on a white jackhammer. Bomb casting up onto the flat catching cruisers.
