Water Temperature: 75
Water Clarity: 1 foot

started out on coldwater side this morning at about 8:30 and fished sunken bridge without a single bite fished a bank on north side and pulled a keeper on a jig about 20 inches long. kept going down that bank with little success caught two shorts on a spinnerbait, and 3 16 inchers on a jig. thought maybe fish were moved shallow so tried a few more coves and shallower banks from 5-14 foot (had been catching fish very deep lately) with little success so fished deep again with no fish at all either. water on cold side was anywhere from 65-69 degrees. so moved to hotwater side and it was 75 degrees and started getting bit pretty consisently on jigs but they were scattered caught 3 keepers in 17-20 foot of water and 3 keepers in 5-10 foot of water near laydowns and points with brush. we ended up catching 7 keepers (only one on cold side) with the biggest being 21 inches long didn't weigh it though too windy to mess with it. in the end we probably caught 35-40 fish on jigs which was good cause we hadn't been having any luck lately so it was a good turnaround for us. we did fish a drop off right before dark on cold side and caught 3 15 inchers or so on jigs but that was it. I really hope this cold front this week highs in mid 40's and lows in the high 20s low 30s will push them up shallower the jig bite sure is a blast. have a good weekend.
