Chased schools of crappie throughout the lake. Seemed to be moving with the baitfish in 8-15 feet of water. Tried to find ambush points and/or areas of warmth (rock mixed with emerging vegetation).

Open Water/Basin
Caught some nice males staging off the rocks on a small basin in 4’ of water. Clarity is only about 18” bobbers with crawlers didn’t get much action. Casting and letting the Boot tail Jig on slack line and hopping it back on a slow retrieve was key.

2nd Weekend in May. Water teamps 58-60F. Some fish likely spawning, but water clarity does not facilitate sight fishing. Definitely a population of fish still staging to spawn as well. Green Pumpkin or Bluegill colored Chatterbaits / Bladed Jigs were the key. Covering water and grass & any visible cover from 1-4' produced high numbers of catches along with several quality 3lb plus fish. Was difficult to get bit on any other lures.

September 22: a cloudy, breezy day. With the boat in only 8' to 9' of water, the bigger bass were biting on the calmer shore on a plopper. You could catch some of the fish that missed the topwater by winding a spinnerbait through the area, or dropping a neko rigged senko in.

I didn't get any bites running a chatter sit over the submerged weeds or flipping a Texas rigged bait among the weeds. However as the sun started setting they started hitting frogs among the weeds.

It was slow bite after the sun came up and the topwater bite slowed down. Tied the wacky worm on and threw at week edges and drop offs. A lot of small bass but the action stayed steady.

Early in the morning, I was catching fish using a frog among the weeds. As that bite slowed down, I switched to a small Texas rigged creature bait and when possible a chatterbait among the weeds. All other structure on the lake wasn't producing any bites.
