Going out on thursday and was wondering what people are having luck with. Past few times crankbaits and drop shot 5'' senkos have been working for me. Any input would be great.

Sorry I didn't see this until today! I usually fish the other side of the hill (43 & 31), but I have fished gate 8 on occasion as well. I went out on the 25th., and caught a decent number of smallmouth. The bass were in the 25' transition areas. They were beat up from the spawn and skinny. But, there was a lot of bait in the areas I found and the water temps were still in the mid 60's. Way too cool for this time of the year! Scout for bait on road beds or drops in that depth range and look for bait. When you find it, drop shot anything else besides "Gulp" and you'll do fine! ;D

How did you make out on your trip?
