        Light Texas rig fishing the main lake points. Look for deep water close and throw into the grass edge or any wood laydowns. Also target the steep main lake banks. They wanted the fast transitions. If you find them don't go far away, let the spot reload. Chatterbaits were working along the wood as well for some.

        Fish are shallow, very shallow. Flip laydowns all day long for a few select bites. There are plenty of laydowns to cover so keep at it. Tried to find fish deeper but they were reluctant to bite anything.

        We fished the morning with reaction baits and had two strikes . After lunch we switched to finesse baits . The water temp was 81 degrees, blue bird skies, one foot visibility and a slight ripple on the water. I fished with a Lews speed stick with 2000 spinning reel lined with 15 lb power pro super slick to vanish fluoro leader. A #2 Neko hook with a shad neo bait my partner fished with a shakey head rigged wacky style on power pro super slick 2 to 8 lb fluoro. We had to literally fish the bank near lay downs no bites three ft from the bank

        We fished Forbes Lake the temperature of the air was 71° and the water temperature 81° with 1 foot visibility and a slight chop on the water. We fished the morning with reaction baits and had no bites or fish. After lunch we switched to finesse baits using a Lews speed rod and a 2000 spinning reel with 15 pound power pro super slick to 10 pound vanish leader the other outfit was a skeet Reese fast 7 foot fast action rod with the 15 pound power pro super slick to 10 pound floro leader with a Berkeley 6 inch show worm. This was rigged wacky style for both of these baits. We had to fish within 3 feet of the bank, if we got further away we got no bites or fish.
