Went out of Big Otter Marina this morning with some beauty looking minnows and would you believe it the lake was flat as glass the entire time we were on the water. The fishing was pretty slow! We started out at the sandhills in 40-45ft managed to catch a few perch just not quite big enough to be worth keeping. Moved to the silver barn managed a few nice jumbos and a monster farm animal. Did anybody happen to come across any decent numbers today? From what i heard guys saying back at the launch is that it was slow everywhere.
 
Fished Sandhill's today also. Solo. Was a slow bite, no big schools. Picked away, got 28 nice ones from 10 to 3. Light bite, drop shotting minnows. Needed 1oz plus of wt. strong current to the east today
