Hit the lake in the afternoon around 2 pm. I noticed most of the resident boats already gone from their docks and quite a few docks already removed from the water. Decided to try the chatter bite anyhow. Skipping and pitching docks and boat lifts. The bite was decent. I lost a few but that's fishing.

Got out on the lake on my faithful Hobie Outback. Upon launching my down rudder line broke. I made the best of it using my paddle. I spent the morning skipping docks as usual. Who doesn't like skipping docks right!? Initially I followed behind a boater but I quickly figured out he knew his stuff because I wasn't finding any fish left over. So I headed across the lake to one of my favorite docks to find it gone. The only things left were the boat lift and sailboat lift. I made a cast across the front of the boat lift and was rewarded with my first fish of the day. Also my biggest at 21". I caught 11 more bass until I left around noon. All skipping docks. If you haven't tried it I highly recommend it.

Fished Friday Sept 2nd skipping docks. It was a blast. Had that zman jackhammer tied on all afternoon. Water temps were 74-77 degrees and I found fish all over the place

Went out on the kayak yesterday 8/2/22. Pitching and skipping docks. 3/8 oz zman jackhammer and black and blue. Paired it with the new Geecrack bellows shad 3.8" and it was 🔥

Skipping docks in 80+ degree weather isn't for everyone but it's my go to method on this lake in the summer

I've been using Geecrack baits for a couple years now and they never disappoint. I always manage to catch fish on their baits. I mainly like to free rig these baits or jika rig them. They get chomped!

Was out catching some bass when this random walleye slammed a jackhammer. Absolutely blew my mind as I've not really seen or heard of anyone catching walleye on this lake.

Caught them pretty good today on moving baits. Key areas had rock or early vegetation. The key technique was bottom contact with whatever presentation I was using. The slime/algae hasn’t come on strong yet, so that could be a factor relatively soon.
