Total Fish/Sizes : 12, Cull to 4.2lbs
Lures Used : Jig, Spook, Chatterbait, Wacky Rig, T-Rig, Swimbait
Fished PM at Long Lake (4/4). Arrived at noon to a Chamber of Commerce Day, 75 degrees, 5-7mph winds. Water temp was 67-72 degrees and visibility was 2-3 feet.
Best techniques were swim jig, wacky rig and spook. Almost all fish were caught next to haybails on the first few turns of the reel. Had multiple missed blow ups on the Yellow Magic and Spook including at least 5 that continued to follow it all the way to the boat. Honestly with this lake being so clear and it being a cloudless day, I think that played into them not fully committing.
Lost a 6+ lber near the boat after a fun aerial display. All other fish were extremely healthy, a couple still had eggs and did observe multiple fish on beds.

Sounds like a decent trek and hate it when those 6 pounders start jumping.
