The Picasso was a spinnerbait in half oz. The blades were painted white also. The biggest fish came on the spinnerbait and the Slobberknocker caught nice fish also. The fish were in 4ft of water or less in the upcoming Lilly pads. You could catch smaller fish under docks on a jig.

The lake has been treated so many times this summer that grass/foliage is nearly non-existent and it's hard to find any fish. The docks/shade produced numbers, but not many keepers. Spinnerbaits got a lot of bites.

Came out expecting top water to be firing off due to the clear morning and stormy night. There was just enough chop on the water and wind to kill any bite though. Water was probably 5-6' visibility. Wind was blowing 15mph+. We pulled into the south bay and found some in the pads, and in the channel under docks. Few and far between so we went to ther other side of the lack and got skunked, moved again and picked up another on a Kaera, and a final one on a Horny Toad. Overall ended up with a bag of 5 keepers, but not very happy about it.
