My what a difference a week can make. The oppressive heat of the past week raised the water temperature from the low 60s to mid 70s shocking the bigger fish. This quick change will probably indicate the beginning of the spawn over the next week or so making for challenging fishing.
Smaller fish are still very active so numbers are good but patience is the key to bigger fish. Sit times have increased to 30-40 minutes. Expect lots of picking and tapping before a fish hits. Try all structures and locations. Suckers have been difficult to come by so do the best you can. I have not been able to find one bait that is much better than the other when there is active fish around.
I still had a good week.
