I went out on the lake on 02/18/22 to practice for a collegiate tournament with my tournament partner. The weather started off cold in the morning with outside air temperatures in the low 30's and then warming up to the low 50's later in the day. There was almost no wind at all, and it was bright and sunny all day. The water temperature throughout the day ranged from 48 to 54 degrees and there was about 1.5 to 2 feet of visibility throughout the areas of the lake we checked. We caught 8 fish total and had a 5 fish limit of around 13 pounds fishing offshore rock piles in 10 to 20 feet of water with a Ned Rig and a Jig, as well as utilizing our forward facing sonar to catch some on an Alabama Rig. Later in the day when the sun got up and warmed up the water, we were also able to catch some on the bridges with a ned rig and the rip rap along the dam with a weightless tube style bait. All in all it was a good day of practice and we hope to catch a big bag in our tournament tomorrow, wish us luck. As always, thank you for reading my reports! Check out the picture attached to the report to see a pretty nice spotted bass I caught early in the morning on a rockpile!
