Water Temperature
65°
Water temp was 65 degrees and seemed to be cooler than other area lakes by 1-2 degrees. Has large amounts of grass mats across the water surface across the whole lake. Was able to find very nice bass but was sporadic using a swim jig on the edge of grass mats with pockets of submerged vegetation deeper.
