North end of the lake. Fish were chasing balls of shad off the ends of the docks. Majority caught within an hour before dark in 10-15' of water.

We had a few weeks of warmer weather the past few weeks, but did have a couple of recent cold fronts come through leading up to this trip. So with the warmer trend, I figured the South End of the Lake would be good with the shallow flats and cover down there. I was began throwing a few different baits with a couple bites here and there, but once I tied on a Rat-L-Trap the bites really started to pick up. Fishing around docks, grass banks, and lily pads. Lots of little chunks, nothing huge but a fun day on the water!

Most of my bites came off the ends of the docks in 12-18' over or near brush piles. Long casts with a yo-yo retrieve seemed to work the best.

Flipping/Pitching the matted vegetation on the south end of the lake was the key. Used a 3/4 oz tungsten weight to get through holes in the mat. The fish were stacked in there pretty good. Best bite was on a Missile Baits D Bomb.
