Jim Collins and I arrived at Blackjack around 9:30 am and fished to about 3 pm.  It was a foggy morning but the weather cleared up later in the day.  Temperatures were in the 70’s with a mild breeze. The bass were biting all day.  We banked fished the entire perimiter of the lake and caught fish just about everywhere, but the best spot was off the pier.  Most fish were about 5 to 10 feet off the bank; just beyond the submerged seaweed.  Caught a total of 28 bass.  Culled 14.  Most of the culled fish were around 12 inches.  The remaining 14 that we returned to the lake averaged between 2 and 2.5 pounds.  The largest was 3.5 pounds and caught in shallow water in the northwest corner of the lake.  We started with black lizards with red sparkles and immediately caught fish.  They worked all day.  The bite was steady all day but very light at times.  

Overall, a fun day at this beautiful property.
