I got out early this morning because I planned to move my shack shallower to get closer to the heavy weed beds.  I broke the shack free from 16' and moved to 12'.  Bottom line: I marked a lot of fish, but had to work hard to get any hits.  Even my finesse rigs with a trout fly tipped with one or two spikes and weighted with a split shot barely got any action.  I landed 10 with only 4 keepers.  The water was very murky near the weeds.  Attractors like small Rat-L-Traps pulled fish in - the locator showed good activity - but they responded slow.  I frequently saw larger signals on the graph and I suspect they were small pike harassing the perch.
