Fished yesterday and found the lake full but not muddy. Water flowing over spillway, weeds well below the surface. Wind was suppose to be SE 8 was SE to SW 20. We started by working the shallow banks looking for some aggressive males. No luck, threw senkos, Sprinker frogs and flukes. After wondering what the next idea was we tried a white chatter bait no trailer in deeper water maybe 50 to 100 feet off shore line on east side. Bingo, bango, bongo that was the ticket. We ended up with 10 females loaded with sagging bellies. We took a walk along the dam looking for beds but not one found. So our best five for the day was 24 pounds. This was topped off with a sassy 8.1 lb female that was 23 1/2 inches. Everything was caught on chatterbaits. So I was thinking since they stock Tilapia in northeast and some are white in color. Does a Bass remember that it's best meal was a white Tilipia . We threw things in Shad, red and green but they only attacked white. The launch area was solid ground and wide open area of water to get the boat into lake.

Sounds like you managed to salvage what could have been a miserable day! Way to go, and congratulations on that 8+!
