Sorry, this is a couple of days late, too much stuff going on. Fished a few hours out of Riverpark in the pm. Trolling motor batteries quit after a couple of hours, found a bad one today after contorting and hurting myself trying to wrestle them out from back under the center console. My camera isn't working either as you can see from the pic (proof of my catch). Nevertheless, I did get a couple of nice fish, a 19 in. smallie and a 20 in. largemouth, didn't weigh them. Also a nice white bass and a couple of TARP drum. All caught on jig/pigs except the WB on a BG. All fish released. Deeper water was the key, I got nothing in less than15 ft., and I worked a lot of rip-rap less than 15 ft. Flow was 44K cfs, surface temp was 49. Will get me a new battery ASAP and got a new camera yestd (30 optical zoom, can't wait to take some bird/wildlife pics).
