I was the first one on Hawkins this morning. Latter on there were 6 or 8 pontoon or tube fisher men and a boat or two. I first tried trolling with different lures and I got 2 rainbow on a silver and orange spoons. But it was slow and I was seeing a lot of fish on the finder near the bottom in 15 feet of water. Go to 20 feet and the Fish disappeared. So I ankered and fished power nuggets, corn and night crawler on the bottom and did good. I got three big cuts, my biggest 22 1/2" and 4 1 /4 pounds. And three more rainbow. I kept 3 for the smoker.
