We arrived at the property around 7:15 am. Great property! Temp was 48 degrees. Nice club boat with a few small leaks but no problems fishing with it. We loaded the boat and as we were heading to the dam end of the lake my trolling motor decided to stop working. I always have a small oar with me, and it was finally put to good use. After about 30 mins paddling around fighting a small wind, we decided to bank fish. The property is really maintained well and has 95% access for bank fishing. We started to catch some fish, but they were all on the north corner and west side of the lake. The ONLY bait that worked was the darker stick baits. The fish were in 8-10 feet of water and on the bottom. We worked the TX rig stick baits along the bottom and caught some nice fish. We probably lost another 5-8 and we tried to pull them to the bank.  The fish are all heathy and have great color. I think this is the first time that all the fish were over the slot. Can’t wait to go back, now that I fixed the trolling motor.
