Went out this morning 6:30 to 7:50 first half hour threw a jig and no takers, probably fishing it a little too fast. Switch to a BPS lazer eye white/chart willow/Colorado spinnerbait fished it for about 30-40 got one bout 14-15" range. Thing that surprised me was how cold the fish was, then touched the water it was waaay chilly. Deffinately going to take a few to warm it back up. Sucky thing is I lost the spinnerbait, snagged a line or something. Threw a lipless. It felt so light, xr50 xcalibur, but it FLEW out there. Distance wise I can cast at least 25-35% farther with casting gear and this was farther. I also love the 7.0 great at lipless and spinnerbaits, bringing a jig in. Loving the quantum very much so far.
