Was out last night. Same spot north of Crane Creek. 4 man limit in 3 hours. A lot of sorting of fish still. More white perch showing up as well as sheephead. Red hooks with no beads or blades seemed to be the best. Keep your hooks sharp because the fish are just sucking on the bait and when you try to set the hook, it must be sharp to dig in at the first point of contact. Dull hooks equal bits but no fish on the end of the line.
