Sorry to hear about your motor problems. I did not fish Saturday, but after our kids left and all the mother's day festivities ended, I went out on the lake for a couple of hours. It was rolling big white caps, but I got in the willows and out of the wind. I flipped the holes back where I had caught them Friday, but did nothing. I then eased over to a shallow area that was out of the wind and found a bunch of very active fish. Between 5:45 and 6:30 I caught 13 fish from 12-18" and had 6 other good strikes where the fish didn't get hooked. It was a very fun 45 minutes.
I believe the F&G Dept's Trophy Bass plan with their slot limit and catch & release only in the spring is really working. I originally thought the slot was too small, but the average fish I am catching this year is certainly larger than they were several years ago. All those 14" fish seem to be 17-18" this year.
