Fishing is HOTTTTTT. Big fish are munching on crawfish in the rocks. We had our success pulling spinners and bottom bouncers. Gold/red/chartreuse colors worked best. Found fish anywhere from 9 ft of water to 30. I'm sure people were pulling cranks too, but we did so well on spinners that we never bothered to try it.
