My son and I fished JerMar starting at about 6:30 until about 10:30.  Water quality was normal, temp was 82 degrees and very full.  Weeds are about the same as I remember mid summer.  Banks are pretty thick, but plenty of fishable water through the lake.  1st time I could get my boat all the down closest to the cabin.  Fishing was a little slow, but I was teaching my son texas rigged lizards on baitcaster - Only 1 backlash.  He caught three fish over the keeper size.  He also hooked a large bass and my seven ft rod snapped in half.  Never seen a rod do that.  He was horsing it out of the weeds, but it should not have broke.  I tried to bring it in hand reeling it but it was too big and eventually spit the hook.  We never did see it, but it felt large.  I caught two over the limit - I spent most of the time watching him and driving the boat.  Great morning with clouds and slight wind.  I thought we would do better, but it was fun.  Great lake as always.  Can't figure out why the site is uploading pic on its side.
