It's a big lake, so I fished in my kayak mainly along the western bank. The water was choppy with the wind blowing steadily throughout the day primarily out of the SSE. The water visibility was less than a half a foot probably still muddy from the stormy weather earlier in the week. Tried an assortment of plastics and jigs along the bank without any success. Fished the wood without any bites. Around 11:30, I decided to give a chatterbait a try and ended up catching three within the next half hour. All three were within 10 to 20 feet of the bank. After losing the chatterbait to a snag, I tried jigs with rattles along the bank and then fished the wood again but no bites. After going back to a chatterbait, I caught three more.
