Slot Fish
Mike and I fished from 6:30 AM to 11:30 AM. Water temp was 85 when we started and winds were light. By the time we left the lake it was over 100 degrees and no wind.
We caught 19 fish, 3 were 17 1/2 to 18 1/2 inches weighing right at 3 pounds each and 9 that were 14 1/2 to 16 inche range. We harvested 5 Bass and 2 Crappies. Caught most of them on the west bank and out in the deeper water by the trees. Used DD 22 deep diving crank baits in the 10-18 foot water and 3/8 oz lipless crank baits over the top of the grass on the west bank.
Was a good morning of fishing for a very hot summer day, We were also treated to a nice air show. There was an old C-30 plane that took off a number of times from the Lancaster airport and on at least two trips out had 5 people each time parachute out over the airport. We were close enough to get a good view. Lots of other planes practicing taking off and landing.
