4/22 at the Oak

First time out this year, Started out about 6:30am and fished 6-12 feet of water  with stick baits, to my surprise I could not catch a fish on them so about 9:00 I switched to spoons and hooked up right away on a small brown, then the action got hot and ended up going 7 for  8. I used a magnum size Savant green and silver to catch 5 of them and a Carbon 13 on the other 2. No real big ones all in the 2-6 lb range but it was fun for sure. Caught them all off the down riggers down 5 ft and about 100 ft back. Water temp was between 40 & 43.5, caught some on the inside and outside edge of the mud line and some in the clear water, did not seem to matter which direction  I trolled and speed was between 2.3 and 2.8 ( was off the water by 10:45)
