We were there on the 20th also...along with all God's humanity and the horse they rode in on. Wow, it was crowded!
I will frequently go up to Joe's Bush (I saw where someone changed the name on a sign) with my kids and either head towards the narrows or out towards deeper water. Usually we start at the weed line and do okay with splake and rainbows. Not that day. There was a long line of people at the weed line. We crossed the lake to the east side and started in 60 FOW. Very few bites. Tried the usual assortment of paddle bugs, tubes, LTG's, and pimples. Tipped with wax worms to get the most nibbles. Even tried perch eyes with no luck. Ended up with 2 splake and 1 rainbow. Compared to previous years it was verrrry slow.
