Water temps stayed around 43 degrees everywhere I went. Threw jerkbaits around 15 ft of water along weed lines. Kind of slow still, but they'll bite.

Finally a good day on the boat! Crystal lake is one of my favorite local lakes. Started off fishing like I would during summer, bottom of drop offs in around 15-17ft. Caught several that way. We tried shallow afterwards which I would never usually do but we ended up catching a lot that way too. Fish are pretty scattered right now, not in their usual spots. 5-17ft will have fish, seems like they're roaming around still. 50 degree water temps, no beds, they're still getting ready to stage up. Bottom contact baits and jerk baits produced well today.

Water temps were 63-64 all around. Threw Ned rigs and weightless flukes in 15-17ft of water. Small guys, but plentiful. Bass are starting to sit on beds too. The spawn is just beginning. Get out there before the spawn funk sets in.

First night trip of the year, vegetation wasnt too thick yet. Threw chatter and jigs on the tops of ledges and the flats and it produced well. Later on we circled around and threw jigs along the bottom portion of the dropoffs and they were still munching. Night bite only gets better from here on out!

Went out 6/6/2021. Didn't realize it was the last Sunday before outboards aren't allowed. The lake was a blender!! Tons of pleasure boaters out. Hit the docks near the launch with a weighted wacky rig and got a few bass. Moved out to the deeper ledges and cause a handful of small bass and rock ass on dropshots. Not quite in their summer pattern yet but they're getting there.

Decided to practice my crank game today. Tried keeping my crank just barely above the weeds just so I could tick the tops of them. Considering it's my weakest technique I think I did great today. Nothing of size, but the numbers were definitely there. Great July 4th evening.

Late report, I fished 6/27/21. This is a finesse heavy lake! Absolutely crushed them on all things finesse pretty much. Dropshot in all colors was king. Best bet is to stay in the 15ft+ range and target the isolated weed patches. Super clear lake so anything shallower than that seemed like it didn't hold fish at all. Got them on dropshots, finesse jigs, ned rigs, and weighted wacky worms in all the same areas. Find the deep isolated patches of weeds, find the fish. Good luck!

Hot, calm day today. Fish were deeper than usual, around 20-25ft. Anything that gets down far enough will get them. Got them off bottom with jig, Shakey heads, and a lipless crank, also managed to get them to come up with my deepest diving crank which would still only get down to 8-10ft. Smaller than average fish, with a few larger ones mixed in.
