Fished solo on Saturday from around 7 to 3.  Sunny, hot (duh), breeze out of the south up to 13.  Water temp 84 at the start of the day.  Water clarity ranges from 8in on the north end to 3ft on the south end - like two different lakes between the north and south end.  Landed 18 with about 12 of those ranging from 2lbs 5oz to 2lbs 15oz.  The bass were crashing some bluegill beds and pushing the bluegill right up to the shore in less than a foot water.  Tossing a bait all the way on the shore and dragging it back in produced some pretty exciting action right on the shoreline.  Also interesting to really be able to feel the difference when a bluegill would pick up worm/swimbait to carry it away versus when a bass pounced on it.  One or so were each caught on a stick worm, spinnerbait, squarebill, jerkait - but mostly on paddletail swimbait.
