A few things I cannot include in this report as far as equipment go. I have a Cashion Icon BFS rod in a 6'8" Medium Light that is an exclusive from another site. This 6' 10" is the closest that Omnia has to it. The reel is an Ark Gravity BFS real that is not sold on Omnia fishing at the moment. Get one if you are looking for a GOOD BFS real at a fair price! I used the 6th Sense Pecos underspin with the Keitech Easy Shiner as stated. The Keitech baits in this 2" size are key, as they are actively feeding on them now and bulking up to spawn. However, they are short striking the bait and ripping off the boot tail. So, durability is an issue with these Keitech baits. Hooked into a few larger fish and didn't get the proper hook set. Needless to say, I was reeling and they had other plans. Never got to see them, but they were stripping off drag like crazy as if I wasn't even a concern for them. Fish that were Much larger than this pic. Anyway, took a lunch break and made a few casts. Water is still VERY, VERY, low. They have been stocking shad in this lake as of late to help give these fish more forage than just the bluegill. Seems to be working.

Water is up again after the previous rainstorms over the past several days, which is a good thing. Was not sure on what to put for the products used because they are not on here currently. The bait used was actually the new "Rebel Raider" in the Citrus Shad color. The reel is the Ark Gravit BFS reel. The rod, the Cashion Icon 6' 8'' BFS ultralight, also not sold here yet. The 6' 10" light version sold here is probably the closest match. Bass are in pre-spawn mode at the moment and are eating in the shallows to bulk up. Another bait they seem to like is the 1/4-ounce Bomber crankbaits in the 2 inch version with the baby bass pattern. Eating their own kind perhaps?
