Caught a decent mess last Friday. This particular end of the lake averages about 4 feet and has probably warmed up much quicker than the rest of the lake. Probably caught about 60, but was only able to keep 17 (9 inch minimum). Small tube jig tipped with a wax worm in 1 to 2 feet of water. That helped me pick up a few bluegills as well. Got lucky in the warm water and had a blast catching fish.

I hadn't thought of putting a wax worm on a tube jig. I'll have to try that.

So did this young lady help catch em too, or just help show em?

She was just modeling the fish for dad. She'll get out when it warms up a bit.
