Arrived around 9 with fellow PWF member Larry Blanchard to blue bird skies with a light breeze. Water temp was 49 and later rose to 56. Air temp was from 58 to 75 when we left around 4. Only had 5 in the boat with a couple of other strikes. Larry boated a couple of small ones, one on a blade bait in the morning and another on a square bill in the afternoon. His best fish was 3.9 on a square bill close to shore after water had warmed some just after lunch. I only had two bites. They both were in the morning and on a blade bait close to the dam. The first was 7.9 and a little later I pulled out a 7.7. A total of 15# on two bites, let's just say I would take that.  Love this place for BIG fish, even without lots of bites.  And thanks to Larry for being my new official photographer. Couldn't have done it without him.
