    Fishing was great in esrly AM. Managed to snag a couple striper right on outer areas on drop offs of reefs at about daybreak using Stunna 112+ jerkbait. A slight breeze found me chucking a 3.8 Divine Swimbait Pro Shad color by 6th sense and a fishhead underspin on some wind blown points and shallow reefs, and it was the ticket. For about 3 to 3 1/2 hours I was throwing it and the largemouth were constantly gulping it. The bite slowed about 8:30-9am. Plenty of followers throughout the day just never committed as morning bite. Range of depth for the fish were just sub-surface ~1-2 foot and marked several bites at about 8-10foot just slow rolling the underspin.

    Flathead catfish are present throughout the lake but are more common in the Aqua Fria River arm or by the dam. Look for spots where the water is murkier with vegetation or rocky covering nearby. Fishing for catfish should be great this spring. Try using catfish baits like chicken livers for smaller catfish. To catch a trophy size, try using live gizzard shad, sunfish or carp.
