This lake can produce some action packed topwater fun. I found a faster retrieve produced more bites here. Follow up missed strikes with a Jig or Texas Rig.

A buddy and I had quite the day, catching a couple dozen bass each. There's a lot of LM and rock bass, and some decent size smallies. It was cloudy and cool. Fishing the edges of the reeds and in the weeds 6-8' deep was the ticket. The bass here like green sticks, and we both had success with the Xzone 6" sticks. Watermelon candy? Candy indeed!

Find the nice points and humps and look for bright green coon tail, it was hard to find it but fish were loaded on those spots.

Caught a handful of walleyes out on the humps, there were schools of 3-4 swimming in a group, a simple cast at them with a jerk bait would get them fired up.

Walking and plopper style top waters worked well for a good mixed bag of smallmouth and largemouth. Best action along inside edge of weeds in 2-4’ during morning hours until around 9:00.
