Fished with another member Fri morning. Water visibility was 2 ft with a lot of something small suspended around the surface.The metal ramp only extended a few inches into the water which would be a problem backing a trailer into the lake.The entire perimeter was covered with vegetation extending out 10 yards in some areas and a minimum of 5 yards in other areas.

We caught 56 bass of which only 13 were under 14”  Five of the bass were between 2.75 lbs and 3 ¼ lbs. The others were mostly at the 14” length.Started out at the boat ramp about 10 yards from shore line using wacky worms and immediately started catching fish. Wacky worms fished out away from the grass line remained consistant throughout the day.Creature baits and tx rig worms produced more as the day progressed.They liked darker colors early and lighter colors later. Neither of us tried any moving baits like spinners or crank baits.

Neither of the major creeks/coves were very effective for us but did produce some fish.My friend took off alone the dam and I went the other direction.He caught all the larger fish and I caught more.
