Thursday was pretty much a carbon copy of Wednesday - skinny keepers and around 12.5 lbs for my biggest 5. Today (Friday) however, I am feeling good - very good!!! I fished from 6am to 1pm - at 10:30 am I figured out a piece of the puzzle that I was missing and found a pre-spawn pattern that I could replicate on 11 different areas - my biggest 5 from 10:30am to 1 pm were a solid 15.5 lbs and that was just pulling 1 fish off of each spot and shaking off a bunch!
I am still fishing in 20 + feet of water but I know where the fish will be if they move up to spawn by next Saturday - I am stoked!
I will fish for a few hours tomorrow yet to just look for another pattern, but I am feeling like what I have going is pretty solid.
