Submitted by glent (ip 209.83.158.124)
Date Fished: 6/23/2002
Water Temperature: 85
Water Clarity: 2-3 feet Our club fished this lake on Sunday. We only had 7 boats entered and our weigh-in was over 70 lbs. My partner and I took first place with 19 lbs. I had 6 keepers ( 14 inch or larger) in the livewell at 8:30 AM and had a total catch of 27 bass for the day. We started our tournament at 5:00 AM and my first 17 bass were caught on a Storm Chug Bug (Chrome/Blue Back) with 5 of those keepers. The fish were everywhere and after the topwater bite slowed we fished centipede plastic baits (Watermelon/Red Flake) around wood structure and outside grasslines off the deeper banks. The bite lasted until weigh-in time of 2:00 PM. Water clarity was great and the recreational watercraft traffic did not seem to affect the fishing at all. This is a great little lake to fish if you want catch fish and enjoy great scenery. Good fishing to all.
