Three man ticket in 4 hours.  Tossed a lot of smalls back or would have been done sooner.
Keepers all 18-20", nice fat fish.
Meat and small stinger spoons, 40-41 FOW, west of Walnut.
Only 1 sheep and 1 white bass, not bad for fishing crawlers!
Lake was perfect, light chop, 1-2 ', decent breeze to blow bugs away.
Great day on the lake for the first trip of the year!

💪. Thanks. Hopefully the Lake cooperates Wednesday. If not, we might have to wait till the weekend.

What's the latest? She's gonna fish tomorrow n Saturday for sure with 1ftrs.

2 man ticket. 45FOW outta Elk. Meat n dipseys took 11, I did get 1 flatlining a Bandit with 2 lunker splitshots. The creek is very low and that sand bar runs out about 50 yards. Not real sure how much longer that's gonna to be an option, even for us 16ftrs. Was fantastic conditions. Just enough breeze to keep the heat and the black flies away.

We were finally out, first trip of year (since hand surgery delayed things) we had our 12 by about 1030 and threw back 2 for each one we kept. We didn't have worms with us. Ours were mostly on super bright mid sized spoons behind dipsies with probably 10 on stick bait either flat lined or with 2 oz aimed at the 24 to 30 ft range.
We trolled anywhere from 38 to 44 fow and started a few miles east of elk, trolled over to Virginia's Beach and then back east till we limited. Was a gorgeous day to be out.

I love that area. Nice report. 💪

2 man today outta Elk. 38 to 41 then finished up 28 to 30 per some sound advice from a local "yaker". Biggest was 20" with a buncha skillet sizers for the rest. Tomorrow should fish and even Monday, but I'm seeing a blow coming mid week. Which will shut dahn us smaller vessels.
