My son and I got on the water at about 8am. Air temp was 49 degrees and water temp was 54. As the air temp rose, the water crept up as well. When we left at about 2p, outside air temp was 75 and the water was around 57 or so. Wind was calm early on and picked up to about 7 mph. The sun was out and shining all morning, 

We tried lots of different lures and techniques but my son had the best luck with a craw colored squarebill crankbait and a t-rigged watermelon lizard. We caught a few on spinners and rattle traps as well. Biggest of the day was probably close to 3 lbs with a Bull Shad swimbait. We had a couple 2 lbers and a couple just under those and the rest were harvest fish that were removed.
