Air was calm. Water level was up alot from my last trip there. There were quite a lot of small plants in the water along the shoreline.
Got there at gray light so I watched for ripples or plants moving. Saw plants twitching but those were only small fish picking away at the plant.
Sun came up and started to see plants leaning. Missed a few and finally connected with one about 8:40.
As the sun got higher I started heading back, retracting my steps I made in the morning. I could start seeing the fish hiding in the plants. Found one section with thicker plant which was holding a dozen or more. Made a good effort to clear them out and got 4 more. The rest of the way back I picked off one more.

Looks like it's going to be a great spawn this year.
