Nice day even with bluebird sky. Didn't have to fight the wind much at all and water a little muddy but not bad. Went up into the feeder creek and water is very, very clear. Could easily see the bottom and the small bass running from the boat. Nice looking lake and Ranch. Easy boat launch. Had fun catching numbers and the bass hit hard. Most culls were thin and were small females. I think there are so many smalls in the lake sharing food, they don't have a chance to get chunky. Cull is a good thing there. Caught one fish that was 17". Lake is full of hydrilla out to about 20 ft from banks with some out to 40 ft out, which will make it perfect when the cull is over and bigger bass take over. You can easily fish top water over it or pull worm through it.

Hey Steve. Yes, removed all 62. Took an hour to filet them. Still plenty of meat even on small ones…if you have that many. Elec filet knife was warm to say the least. My son was in from college and I took my dad, so we could have a day of fun. It was fun. We had many doubles and once close to all 3 of us having fish on at the same time but lost one before we got it to the boat. We caught 5 big crappie on…yes my favorite, a Pop-R. Morning bite was best but once we got a few shadows late, they starting hitting hard again. It got really slow during middle of the day but they all do. Like I said, to me, it is a nice lake because of the hydrilla and the wind being blocked because it sits in that valley. It's the place to go if you don't want to get skunked.
