Caught 12 Largemouth Bass = 8 unders in the very back right of the lake.  All of the overs (4) were 18”-19” did not weigh as not what I was looking for.  All the bass were caught back in the North East portion of the lake.  Most likely due to it is a very protected area from all the high wind and rain we have had this week.  Reminded me of the strip mine lakes we fished as kids in Ohio.  All of the bass had no color to them, healthy looking but not the beautiful green fish in East Texas.   Typical strip mine bass.  It was an expensive day to catch 12 fish and no size.  Spoke with a very nice worker, Dan, he made sure I was good to go and pointed out some key features of the lake.  He mentioned that the rain on 3/3 and high winds on the 4th and 5th has blown the lake out.  Just before I was getting in – all I was thinking about was my wallet ;).
