Water was around 65 degrees. Deeper wood in 6-10 fow seemed to hold bigger fish, running a jackhammer along the wood seemed to be the trick. Any short strikes I would toss the Yamatanuki back and was able to pick up those fish!

Water temps were sitting around 65° when we hit the water and there was a decently brisk 10-15mph wind coming from the south. We immediately hit the flats on the south end of the lake with poppers/top water and caught several quality fish (for the lake). We continued around the south point and the flats for a while and tried to target some of the spawners as well with no luck. We later moved into the pads on the north end of the lake and caught some better quality bass on frogs. As the wind picked up past 20mph things cooled off pretty significantly. Struck out for a long time while trying to fish the wind and switched over to some spinner baits. We targeted the edge of the drop offs on the south side of the lake and managed to put several more quality bass in the boat.

Water temp was right around 62° when we hit the water with a very light wind. Started off with some top water and caught a few on poppers early on. Later we were able to pull some with Rat-L-Traps, Jerkbaits, and a few on curly tail worms. As far as targeting goes, we were sitting on flats where the bass were staging for spawn. Spawners were completely uninterested in anything we threw at them. Generally every time we found a spot of slack water throwing at the surface distortion produced fish. Ended up being easy to target.

The big fish were still in deeper water. We caught a few small ones shallow, but the bigger ones haven’t moved up yet. Straight retrieve or yo yo off the bottom.

Went around 7pm when sun was starting to go going down. Started around North western portion and worked bank slowly around till about South eastern portion. Only caught 3 bass in North western portion within ten minutes of each other. I was using a jika rig I made myself They were all on beds or adjacent to them. They wanted it a bit faster but enough time for them to think and hit it. Bass are now getting on to beds. But with upcoming weather they could be pushed off and the current spawn that is happening be delayed till it again warms up. Shimano mastiff held up wonderfully, it did require more effort to drive ewg into the mouths of the bass as they were all caught out quite far.

Bass along southern and eastern edge were only patrolling shore line not actively hunting. Were skittish of people coming up to shore line. Only fish I caught were on the Western and southern parts of the lake. Both of these sides had wind directly or indirectly on them. They wanted it slow and periodical taps of the Neko. Not a single one wanted it fast or jittery. They were on the verge of spawning more so staging up to.

Fishing a shallow stump field 2-6’ water was 65 degrees. Tossing around a 3.8” swim bait along stumps or submerged wood would produce fish but dragging a Yamatanuki around wood, the fish were ripping the rod out of my hand. A lot of fish were up shallow and they are feeding up ended the day with close to 15 fish all in the 2-3lb range.

Fish were in the bedding mood. Many were under docks but they were mostly small fish. Finding shallow water that had a rocky bottom was best. Slow presentation of the tube worked best.
