I had heard rumors that the bluegills were spawning and I would be able to catch a lot of them for bait. Well it was not true. I found very little spawning activity, and they were very hard to catch. I believe the water temperature needs to rise another six degrees.
I caught no flat heads tonight; never even had a bite. The wind really came up and was whipping the water quite hard when I called it a night. I was very thankful that I had a large boat to take on the waves. Also the GPS sure helped me make it back to the landing in the rough turbulent night.
