Got pretty choppy so we threw crankbaits off the rocks on the wind beaten bank and caught quite a few. Nothing real big but hooked into alot of fish.

I caught this almost 9 lb. hybrid striped bass (wiper) fishing off the end of the dock by the boat ramp. I made a cast to open water, let it sink for a few seconds, and then started to reel it SLOWLY. A few seconds later…BOOM….it inhaled it!! It was an awesome fight and my first hybrid Striped Bass (wiper). Praise the Lord for the awesome catch!!

We were fishing Neko Rigs in shallower water, from the bank. To work the Neko Rig, I cast it out, let it sink, give it a couple of hops, let it sink, and repeat.

Rock Pile
Water Temperature
76°
Water temps ranged from 72-79 depending on where I was on the lake. Air temp was 85, fished from noon-4pm. Fish were relating to rockpiles in 5-10 ft of water. Wind was out of the SW, 8-12 mph. Caught all bass on a VMC Tokyo rig with 5/0 worm hook, and 2 Swagger tungsten 1/4oz weights. I like using the 2 weights on the Tokyo rig so when you drag it & it hits something, the 2 weights clack together & makes a good sound. Setup I used was a Daiwa CC80 casting reel with 15lb Sunline Assassin on a 7'2" MH Shimano Intenza rod.

Was able to find some bass holding in submerged timber offshore. First time using the Yamatanuki and I was impressed. It was getting fish to bite when other techniques were not.

We we’re fishing from the shore and I was using a Neko rig. I cast it out to the flooded brush/brush piles and let it sink, watching my line on the way down in case a fish took it on the fall. I then hopped it and repeated the process. I caught two bass, one of which was a really decent 3 lb. 8 oz.!! I hope this helps!!

Rip Rap
Water Temperature

Water temps ranged from 72-77, had a 10 mph south wind throughout the day. Fish were on riprap in 2-5' of water. Caught all fish with a Owner Flashy Swimmer (1/8 oz, silver willow blade) with a 3.5" Yamamoto Swim Senko in Chartreuse/White. Nothing huge on the bass side, all were about 3/4 lbers, got a nice bonus walleye that was about 16".
