Fished the morning of April 1st as a partner with Andy Dear and his son Jackson. I was on the water at 7:30 and Andy arrived around 9. 

Conditions. 

Pre-frontal 

Overcast sky

Wind steady at 10 most of the morning 

Water temp: 71

Air temp: 64-75

Water good color and maybe clear to 1-2 ft

Results. Caught 19 and culled 4 of those. Most of the culls were 12 to just  under 14. 

Started the day along the dam with a green, chart, black hula popper and caught about 5 one at 4-9 and probably lost as many. The owner was there adding fertilizer to the water. We talked for a little time and I thanked him for allowing PWF to lease the property. I then started running the bank opposite the pier switching between the popper and a motor oil senko unweighted with a spinner blade tail and probably caught another 6  or 7. Most were in the 2-3 # range with a couple near 4#. Since I previously had good luck with a sexy shad rattletrap , tied one on and caught another 5-6. Fished the trap fast and erratically and I guess that triggered reaction strikes. 

Before I left talked with Andy and Jackson and found that Jackson had caught a 5-2 to have the biggest of the day so far. 

Planning to return the last Friday of May for a full day and looking for a partner.
