Fish are still in spawn with some post spawn fish. Bite was exceptional on creature baits and flukes all unweighted. 6 foot maximum with ,any fish in “deepwater Near the bank”. Deep is relative , larger fish ,at each in second spawn as they were beat up but full of eggs. Shad spawn has happened at least in the south end as I caught decent fish on unweighted flukes. Monday post Mother’s Day lake was perfect no boats and bite was insane ( summer craw and sunfish colored flukes were the ticket. Big cut tail My go to bait were ineffective. Thumped like hits on crank baits but on the drop or dead stick fluke. Tight lines

Congrats James thanks for the report
Sunday Morning Mmorial weekend . Lake was not as crowded as I expected. Weather was fantastic . Bite for ,e was still shallow . Stand up light jig heads with creature bait. Texas rigged with light slip sing we also working well. Biggest fish was not spawned out yet. Sixteen keepers before 9.30am. Fish were very tight to cover , in the trees , few in flooded hydrilla . Fishing still not hitting worms or chasing consistently. Tight lines.
