Hey guys launched at the ford and saw a few gulls waiting for trout to surface and only a couple cormorants. As I cleared the mouth I noticed the remainder of them were out in the lake in 5' or less of water. Gulls, Cormorants, an osprey, and a bald eagle were all at the buffet. I guess it was still the all you can eat german quisene. I trolled south staying in 10 or less and caught 0 splake and browns. I did see quite a few big walleyes layin on the bottom in 10' water most didnt even flinch as my shadows moved by. A few spooked. Saw a couple of larger fish two not sure what they were maybe carp at least one had a large white blotch on its back. Also saw a few huge dead walleyes layin on the bottom. Beautiful day on the water a little chill early but warmed up nicely. Be careful if your launching anything bigger than 14' due to the low water in the mouth my motor hit the sand a few times in and out. didnt see any dead heads either.

Good luck out there
26 days and counting!
