Tom, we were on Fish Lake just outside of Hancock, Gills were not up on beds yet. Depth ranged from 3'-5'. We caught them on leaches and wax worms. The trick was to use plastic and dress it with live bait. I used a crappie tube dressed with a waxie and my SIL used a 2" crawdad with a leach. It took us 3 1/2 hours to catch 8 fish so they weren't jumping in the boat. Also, we only caught one small gill that we released.
