Bass were set up on wind blown points with rock, it was a tough bite and had to cover a lot of water for a few bites. Fished the southern end of the lake where the water clarity was cleaner.

I fished the 2nd stop of the Team Trail Outdoors TX tournament trail for 2023 on the lake on 04/08/23 with my tournament partner Iain. It was a nice day, with morning temperatures starting out in the mid 50 degree marks and warming up to about 80 degrees outside by the end of the day. There was a slow northeast breeze all day and it was mostly sunny outside with a few clouds. The water temperatures ranged anywhere from about 63-71 degrees and the water clarity ranged anywhere from about 6 inches of visibility to about 2 feet of visibility. We spent the day fishing submerged vegetation on flats in 2-4 feet of water, as well as the rip rap along the dam of the lake, which Z-Man Jack Hammer Chatterbaits in the 3/8 Ounce Size in the Spot Remover color, with shad colored Lake Fork Trophy Lures Live Magic Shads as the trailer. We were also able to get a few bites with a light texas rigged swimbait, using either the magic shad or a Reaction Innovations Skinny Dipper in sexy shad as the bait, just swimming it over the grass flats like we were doing with the chatterbaits. We had probably the worst tournament practice we had ever had the day before, only catching 5 fish total and only 3 small keepers on main lake rock and wood with finesse baits. So, tournament morning we decided to just scrap all of that and go fishing with an open mind for the event, and boy did it pay off. We were able to catch a limit of bass weighing 18.80 pounds in the event which got us 12th place out of 186 teams and a nice check to go with it! Thank you all for reading my reports, good luck out on the water!
