This lake is called RushVille creek lake. The first thing I noticed when I first started fishing it in the spring was the fish where healthy like chunkers. I've been bank fishing it just scoping it out it has a bunch of stick ups, lay downs, rock, and grass so I feel like this is a really good fishery. This spring I caught a 3.5 on a square bill banging it on rock piles. But this fish was caught late to mid summer in matted grass with a swim jig. This lake has been impressing me, I have a feeling there's big fish in there. Gotta get my yak or boat in there.

It was a awesome day started off with top water didn't have much action so I did a little bit of cranking with no success. Then I switched to the swim jig and the bite was on. The swim jig was successful from the first cast until the last. I was fishing it in the Lilly pads and around brush piles, and the water willows.

Return to Oxbow lake to try some fun fishing. After a few different bait choices, the LC 1.5 Ghost minnow proved to be what the fish wanted. Surprisingly the fish were not under the shade of the multiple laydowns but more in the main part of the lake and along rip rap banks. Despite no wind, the LC 1.5 caught the majority of the bass. Also managed one on a Core Tackle Swim Jig in their blue gill color with a reaction innovation little dipper in sprayed grass for a trailer. Also managed one bass on a Zoom Super Fluke in Smokin Shad

Finished 4th in the Toledo Area Kayak Anglers League Stage 12 tournament. Fished a shallow flat and rip rap bank. Along the rip rap I threw the LC 1.5 in Ghost minnow and managed to fill my limit but still needed a good upgrade. Moved away from the bank but stayed within a shallow flat where depth was between 8-10 feet. There I fished a Bomber Next Gen Fat Free Fingerling Medium Diving Crankbait in Pearl White. I managed a nice upgrade to move me into 4th place. Crankbaits proved to be the bait of choice fishing the SE corner of the lake

It was a tough day even though it was great conditions. I tried running a under spin on a few lay downs and picked off a couple small guys.

I caught all 4 of my keepers next to wood that was on rip rap. When they would swipe at the spinner bait I would follow with the Cut-R-Worm by dragging the worm parallel to the laydown.

The keys to my pattern were to find areas that had grass within 2-4 feet from the rocks. The fish were congregated near current. My biggest of the day was caught on an isolated grass patch.
