My buddy Darryl and I made the trip out to this beautiful property on Saturday 11/12. We got started about 7:30 and fished until 5:30. I suppose we had a minor cold front move through on Friday night, because it was much cooler (low 50's) than the day before, and the wind blew (hard at times) out of the east or northeast under clear blue skies. I knew it would be tough, and it was. i caught the 2 biggest ones early (4.5 and 2.2) on a yellow magic, but after this it was a dinkfest. We ended up with 25 total, and 12 harvested (and the rest just barely bigger than 12"). besides the yellow magic (why are those things so good??), we caught fish on buzzbaits and senkos.
The water was very clear (i could see the bottom in 7' of water), and the lake was full. There is some kind of tough, stringy grass in the lake that will shut down anything from a buzzbait to a 24v Fortrex. The water temp ranged from 67 to 70. The fish we caught were very healthy (except for 1 that was on the skinny side).
This is a beautiful lake, and i know there are big fish in it. We didn't find any, but maybe another time.
