So it was a very successful trip to the DMAD area. I caught 5 species. Including a bunch of very good size white bass. I kept 3, including a 2 lb-er that was 17" long. The other two were just over 1 lb each and about 13" long.
Here's 2 of them:

I caught a couple of LMB, both about 8" long. Not much. I also caught a couple of perch that were about 6" long. I'll post pictures of those as soon as they're emailed to me.
I also caught a walleye that was pushing 5"! It looked like it would have lost a fair fight to any of the nightcrawlers that I had. I also saw what looked like a very small 8"-ish northern pike. Could have been a walleye, but I don't think it was.
The carp were feeling rather frisky in the shallower areas of DMAD and the sevier.
I had a LMB on that would have probably gone 4 lbs, and I had what felt like a very large cat break the line on my ultralight rig I was using w/ a little tiny piece of carp meat under a bobber.
Tequila sunrise works on DMAD just as well as it does on UL. I also caught some on a shad and shad w/ orange belly sassy shad knock off. The big one came on a red and white mini spinnerbait. One of the perch and one of the LMB came on a chunk of carp meat. The carp meat came courtesy of a nightcrawler.
All in all, it was a good day.
And fillets are sitting in the fridge for tomorrow. I bought a better knife on the way home and it made a HUGE difference.
