Son and I fished Waterboo today (Friday). Fished on and off from around 7AM to 2:30PM. Got chased off the water by surprising and threatening storm about 11:30 - but thankfully we were on the very edge and it just missed us. Lake is full, grass is healthy, water was super clear - visibility to 8ft at least. This is a beautiful and remote property. We had a lot of fun catching harvest fish on a variety of baits (Senkos, paddle-tail swimbait, jerkbait, md diving crankbait, chatterbait, beetle spin). We landed 41 with 38 harvested. The other 3 were between 14'' and 15''. Also landed a large crappie and probably a dozen bluegill. What a bunch of fun! I am sure the harvesting will help for future quality of fish - in fact, I've never seen this, but out of the 39 fish cleaned - I didn't see a single sign of baitfish or crawfish or anything in their guts.
