      Report: Went out from 7am to 12:30. Caught several fish all one pounders all on shad crankbaits: Fat free shad, Speed trap and a wiggle wart. Fish were suspended and caught in about 8' - 10' of water. No bites on spinnerbait, drop shot or senkos. It was overcast in the morning which burned off around 10 and it was breezy all morning. Lots of fisherman out but not a lot of catching.

      Tips: Replace stock trebles off cranks with premium treble hooks.
