Well It looks like i'm the first Tapps report of the year. I only had from 2pm to 4pm to fish. I got lucky and found one smallie, it was about 2lbs. Got it on a purple/white x shad rap 8 to 10 foot. I reeled down to max depth with a "pull pull pause" to get her on third cast. That was only fish thought but for shitty/windy condtions, that is ok. Water was 49. I was marking fish from about 18ft to 24 ft off of drops. Water was still at bottom of boat ramp. If pic posts you can see lure. You can also kinda see how fat the belly is, so even with the crappy weather the fish are still getting ready for prespawn.

Procaster,
Thanks a lot for the report!! I have been waiting for the water level to come up a bit,sounds like its just about there.nice job on the fish,that s a fatty!!As soon as the weather stays solid for longer than ten minutes at a time the bite should get going nicely.See ya out there.
