4/3/2014 1:04:00 PMThanks guys! Yah, I tried everything. SM was caught on swimming jig. We tried everything. Al my favorite spots, and my favorite tubes as well. The fish are in isolated areas waiting to move up. Not sure why we didn't find any deep fish???

4/4/2014 9:36:00 PMI was out there on the 1st the day the county launch opened. I tried everywhere too but spent most my time shallow hoping the bass would be moving up since the water temp was hitting the low 50's and rising then spent some time with the dropshot and jig deep. I too found nothing and did not even mark fish on the sonar not sure where they hide this time of year but they should be moving shallow soon. last year was my first year fishing Tapps and I started in the summer so I am not sure how the rising water effects the fish, if anyone knows I would love to hear. congrats on the catch nice looking smallmouth and muskie.
