Water temps held a pretty solid 54.5 while we were out. Wind was nothing at the start but picked up to 15-20mph by the time we left (6:30-1:00). We eventually figured out a pattern of grinding square bills and/or jerkbaits off any hard bottom points then out over the drop off. As soon as the bait made the transition over the drop off they were getting nailed. This was easily repeatable and allowed us to catch good numbers while we were out with maybe 2/3 keepers and 1 of decent size. We also saw a herd of deer swimming across the lake.

No wind, significantly humid, there was a cold snap the night before and the surface temp was pretty cool when we got out. Didn't have any luck on top water so threw a frittside for a while and caught some keepers. There was a lot of surface action going on where the squirrels were dropping things into the water from the trees and we picked up a few more bass in those areas. Eventually got onto a good jerkbait patter. Throwing up at the shadows and jerking back to the boat. A lot of them were hitting right at the boat. Caught a good number of keepers doing this. Also landed a 26lb carp.
