Fished brush and any wood that was in 5-6 feet of water. Getting a reaction to cause a strike was the key to getting some of the bigger bites.

Clear sky’s, temp water was averaging about 64 degrees. I was mainly fishing in about 15-20 feet rock piles of the lake. I heard a lot of good things about the strike king filler worm from having phenomenal action hand poured plastic! And for the price you could not beat it!!!! They last about 3-4 fish per worm. And honestly S.K has made a lot of awesome colors in the filler worm! Biggest smallie I caught with it was about 3.5

Day 1 - I fished from the state park to Crab Creek along the face of the dunes as well as along the easter portion of O'Sullivan Dam. Day 2 was along Medicare Beach to Crab Creek and the open water in front of the same beach in deeper water. Largemouth were caught in quantity near the entrance to crab creek in shallow and medium depths to 15 feet. Plenty of debris along this stretch of water. Along the dam I hooked everything in less than 10 feet of water. Very poor conditions with the green algae bloom. I picked up 2 trout, perch and a crappie as well. I couldn't find anyone to admit to catching a walleye.
