    I did well last year at that time flipping beavers in lay downs. The last cove on the left before the bouys is the best. Also the shad should be in the backs of the creeks. Use poppers and chatterbaits around the shad or whatever youre confidence baits are. GL. Let me know if you have any other questions.

    depending where you are at the temps by the outtake could be around 80 and prob around 65 on the lower part.
