Went to the lake this morning and tried to see if the fish were moving in yet. My dad and I went to WT to start the morning and every one else got that memo also . There were 30 or so boats in there fishing when we arrived. Started out with tarps and brush hogs. Caught a few fish on traps and packed it up and went to another spot. Got there with no one around and the wind was blowing. Started throwing traps in 3-7 foot and found all kinds of fish like stripes,crappie, and bass. fished there for 2 hours and boated 30 fish or more with 8 being bass and the rest stripe with a crappie or two. Went on to another spot and fished there a few hours and found more fish . I found a big fish finally but not what I was wanting. It was a big old carp I had hooked in the back with a trap. The fish pulled and pulled and I expected the hooks to come out but they didn't. The skeet reese cranking rod was bent double and I finally got it in and went back fishing. Fished a hour or two with a few more bites . After the day was over we had 9 keeper bass and 4 keeper crappie. Had a great time fishing with my old man. Water temps are starting to come up WT was 50. and the other cuts were 48.
