A 3 hour outing on Burke Lake targeting Pre-Spawn fish staging on points during low water levels made them reachable from wading further out into shallow flats. Water temperature had been stable throughout the day and a low pressure system/storm was forecasted to hit the area between 1200 and 1300. Other conditions present: overcast and a light ripple. Hydrilla was growing in well and fish were relating to the grass. All bites came on the end of long casts after ripping either the Lil' Magnum or a Chatterbait through the grass. Big fish of the day was just over 5lbs and a total of 8 fish, including a 5lb snakehead. Was an amazing short outing for targeting highly pressured fish.
