Fished Triple J on Friday morning, 5/17, from 7:30 - Noon.  It was cloudy for most of the morning.  Tried buzzbaits first but only got short strikes.  Then I tied on a small Zara Spook (Zara Puppy), suggested by an earlier report, and caught about 5 with one 20” 4+ lber.  Caught most of these on the East side around the brush piles. 

The wind changed from the East to the South, making it harder to present the spook.  Caught a couple on a square bill crankbait, with one going 2.5 #s. 

Caught nothing from about 9 - 10.  Then caught another 5 on a med/deep diving crankbait (5 - 8’) in 7 - 14’ near the dam.  Another 20.5” 4+ lber., and a 3 lber.  Also caught 2 slab crappie and a small one on the crankbait. 

The flooded standing timber on the NW corner is very shallow, maybe 18”.  Pitched a few plastics but got nothing. 

Ended up with 12 bass and 3 crappie (harvested).  Had a decent day and I was impressed with the improvement in quality catches.
