I hit the regulating resevoir on Saturday morning. It's definitely at full pool right now. Hit the lake about 7:00 am and had it all to myself. Had a limit of 10 in the 12 - 15 inch range in the boat by about 10:00. Shook off a couple small ones and lost a couple at the boat. Water temperature was 45 degrees. Troll speed was 1.2 mph and the hot set up was a hot pink tube with a pink scale blade behind a pink sling blade tire track dodger 20 feet behind the flashers off the weight at about 12 feet. Tipped the rig with corn and gulp maggots. One interesting find - I had thrown some old, dried up gulp maggots in the corn for scent along with some anise and shrimp scent and the maggots rehydrated to a useable texture.
