This report is for Monday - Saturday

Monday- fished a whole day on the lower end and caught 22 most coming on Yum dingers in 1-4 ft of water with no big fish best 5 16-17lbs. We broke off on two good fish, never got to see them don't know how big they were.

Wednesday- fished the lower end again 1/2 day afternoon only caught 12 with the best 5 15-16lbs. Once again the fish were caught on Yum dingers in 1-5 ft.

Thursday and Friday- fished the afternoon 1/2 day on Thursday. On Thursday I thought I would move out a little deeper and see if the bigger fish had moved out of the shallows and were staging on humps and secondary points. I did catch two nice fish on a point between 4-5lbs on 6" yum lizards. I also moved shallow and caught 5 on a frog and of course I caught a couple of more on the Yum dinger. Friday I only made it out an hour before dark and caught 6 on a zara spook 5 in the 3 lb class and 1 5 lber on a secondary point with plenty of grass on it. I had one big one blow up on it but never got a hook in her.

Saturday we put in at Waterfront at 9:00 it was one of those days I really thought the topwater bite would do the trick but never had a sniff on a spook, buzzbait or a frog.With the cloud cover I was surprised but that's fishing. We did have one of those dream days catching 47 biggest was right under 5 lbs, best 5 22+lbs. We lost count on how many 4+ lb bass we caught but no giants. All fish were caught on Yum dingers in 1-6ft of water. My Dad hooked a lunker but it broke. The drag was screaming and I guess the line had a nick somewhere, Oh well it was still a great day. My thumbs look like I was using a cheese grater all day, love the fish thumb.

There is still a lot of fish on beds it really depends on what part of the lake you are on. I noticed some parts of the lake the water was in the low 80's and others the mid 70's big difference.

Can't wait for next week, See you on the water,
