Submerged Vegetation
Water temps dropped in to the mid 60's. There is still submerged vegetation and some lily pads. Water level is down almost a foot from normal pool, so much of the rip-rap is exposed along the dam and edges. Fishing slowly along vegetation edges still produced good numbers of 13-17" largemouth. Largest was an 18" / 3.56 lb. chunk.

Unweighted, working very slowly towards weed beds. Successful on the lures descent. Between my son and I, pulled 7 from the bank, 5 were able to stringer.

Matted Grass
The grass is thick and there’s a lot of pressure for a lake this size. I used my kayak to get way back in the weeds and used a 1oz punch rig in craw. This seemed to work best around submerged trees in the grass

LMB were offshore on rock reefs and rubble piles in 6-8 ft. of water. Water clarity is down to less than a foot. Brittle naiad and skinny pondweed have created deep mats and are spread all around the lake. Some LMB still shallow on rip-rap along the dam and points.

Found a pretty decent school in like two brush piles. Caught most of them on a dt 14 but they kinda got scattered out so I went to a Jig Worm with a black Trick Worm and they were choking that. Caught 15 bass out of the same cast each time! Re-tieing was key because I was using 10 lb Suffix Advanced Fluorocarbon for my leader on the Jig Worm and main line for my dt 14!

It was a very tough and cold winter day but managed to put some fish in the boat. Water temps were in the low 40's and the water was somewhat clear which was good. I just stuck to slow deeper water baits and it got the job done. Just slow down and drag stuff around and it will play in your favor. The biggest was the one on the DT 14 and it throttled it!

Just cranking some rock on the point of a channel swing. They were stacked on the point of it and it was producing a little better than average fish! Also cleaned up by fishing a Neko rig behind it and also a finesse jig as well! Caught a lot of nice fish!
