It felt good to get back on the water again, and it feels even better to have had a good enough day to write another report! I went out on the lake on 08/23/22 from about noon until about 6:30 PM. The weather was nice with temperatures in the mid 70's all day and rain throughout most of the day, with a steady southwest wind at about 5-10 mph. The water temperatures ranged from about 82-85 degrees and the water clarity was anywhere from a foot of visibility to about 6 inches of visibility. Me and my buddy were able to catch a few smaller fish targeting docks with a texas rig throughout the day, but our biggest bites came fishing points with standing timber or brush piles on offshore flats anywhere from 15-23 feet of water with a deep crankbait and a texas rig. This technique offered slow fishing but produced 2 nice fish for me throughout the day, a 6.68 (pictured) and a 5.48. The thermocline seemed to be at about 25-28 feet deep. Overall it was a tough day but the right fish came out to play. Thanks for reading the report, tight lines!

Found small schoolers in the mouth of major pockets around grass edges in 10 - 12' of water. Larger fish came off of isolated brush piles
