Went out Monday and played a hunch re Franklin - bad call. Saw quite a few bait balls so kept looping around. Ran from 30 - 125 (spoons, hootchies, and plugs). Not one bite and heard same from others in area. Picked up to come in and it looked like the derby weekend at Lone Tree so maybe that was the spot to be .
