Tim Roeben and I trolled crankbaits in 18-23' of water from 6:00-11:00am this morning.
Tim easily took home his limit of keepers between 15-20' long with the rest all going back in the lake. I could have kept my limit but chose not to keep any. Maybe next time I'll keep a few.
I don't believe we made any trolling passes today where we did not catch a fish of some sort. All those fish were caught under clear, bluebird skies which would typically signal poor fishing. That was certainly not the case.
I keep expecting this hot bite to cool down but so far, its just moved to another part of the lake.
We trolled everything from deep diving shad raps, jointed shad raps to stick baits like the rapala husky jerks & the F13 floating rapala's and caught fish on everything we put down there.
Typically, we'll see the preference switch from crankbaits over to night crawlers but so far that just hasn't happened.
