Morning Run to El Cap 5/16

Postponed a cool windy Friday for a warm sunny Tuesday at El Cap…WRONG! This winter that won’t let go had the lake chilly and white capping by 10am today. It probably slowed whats been a decent bite but seeing the shad along the shoreline pushed us to throw spinnerbaits, jerkbaits, and flukes over the usual plastics. Got 8 in all before heading to work at 10. The best lure for us was a white spinnerbait nabbing 3. Best fish did come from dragging a small worm over a bed though.

White double willow spinnerbait is still my all time best producing El Cap lure. Nice work!
