Fished this property AM (6:30-12) on July 6th. The morning top water bite was on with a torpedo/prop bait (black/orange). Tried a hula popper and a mouse, but not takers. After that bite stopped, I had some success with a suspending jerk bait (silver/blue).
I did have good success with mid-diving cranks (white and green/chart). Again, I could see plenty of fish deep (12-20 ft) and tried several deep-diving cranks and jerk baits,but not takers. I caught about 18 with 3 over 14”.
The water level is up another 2 ft and water clarity is 3-5 ft. There are several good inside and outside grass edges, but I could not get anything to bite.
If anyone has figured out how to get the deep ones to bite at this location, I would like to know.

Bill I only fished this site once but I watched the owners grandson use a chrome and blue rattletrap and he knocked them dead. Of course I went to the trap and was successful too. I also had good luck on a half ounce willow and Colorado white spinner bait along the dam. When I was using plastics I was catching nothing but 12 inch fish. Thank God for the grandson otherwise I wouldn’t have found the big fish.
