Keeping a slow steady retrieve with twitches about every ten rotations, my brother and I were able to catch a few off of some points reeling into shallow water.

I fished the lake on 06/03/23 for the final stop of the North Region of the Bass Champs TX tournament trail for the year. The water temperatures on the lake ranged from 76-83 degrees and the water clarity ranged from about a foot and a half of visibility at the clearest, to about 6 inches of visibility at the dirtiest. It was a partly cloudy day with outside temperatures starting out in the 60's and working up to about 85 degrees by the end of the day, with pre-frontal conditions as a storm blew in later that night after the tournament was over. In the morning, we concentrated on rip rap and seawall banks with docks utilizing a popper and a chatterbait to take advantage of the shad spawn and put some bass in the boat, including the nice 3 pounder I have pictured with the report. After the shad spawn died, we spent the rest of the day throwing chatterbaits, frogs, swim jigs, and jigs into flooded brush and underneath docks, and were able to get a pretty consistent amount of bites doing so all day long. Shallow junk fishing was the name of the game. Unfortunately, several of the biggest fish we had bite came off, so we only ended up weighing in 4 keepers for 9.76 pounds in the tournament, which got us 55th place out of 192 teams. However, with what we caught and what we had bite, we should have had around 15 pounds and been inside the top 15. Overall, it was a fun day although it was a grind, as we had around 12 bites total throughout the day. The lake has been fishing tough, but they are still out there and they are still eating, so get out on the water and give it a try. Everything we caught was in less than 5 feet of water, as there is a lot of good flooded cover in the lake right now keeping the fish shallower. Thank you all for reading my reports and tight lines!
