    We used live minnows and tried jigs but it was too calm and the power house wasn’t generating. We caught several good ones and my wife caught her PB at 16 1/2” (didn’t have a good scale so we just measured it). Tru-turn hooks claim to have a better hook up ratio I haven’t seen that but I have seen that it comes out of cover easier and a beat up red hook definitely gets more bits than standard gold. I pair it with 16 lb test mono when fishing in heavy cover for the occasional snag. The larger line allows you to bend the hook out versus breaking it off.

    Early morning we only got a few short strikes on top water followed up by switched over to a spinner bait with painted willow blades to get some keepers with a really nice 3 pounder. As the sun rose and temperatures started to rise we started targeting windy points with willow grass. We used chartreuse square bills attacking the points from various angles with a little over 15lb bag for our best 5.
