Overcast with rolling clouds in the AM with winds approaching 20mph. Had a good early bite, but was difficult to present with the wind. 10AM rainstorm forced us to the dock where we picked up some more bites. Took a lunch break for lunch, and upon return it was sunny with high scattered clouds and the same 20mph winds. The bite was scare, looked for them all over, checked all the wind blown banks, inside and outside of the old dam, and tried deep as well. Almost all bites came from the grass along the banks, either near the bank or the outside of the grass line.

Culled 18, returned 3. Didn't get a weight on the largest, but it was about 15.5" long.

All fish looked healthy, the water clarity is amazing, and the grass is not too bad. Ran all day on a single battery, anchoring in various spots but made liberal use of the large rocks exposed along the bank. First time I've seen the rocks at Six O like that as they are usually covered by vegetation, but a grapple anchor will hold the boat even in strong winds with one of those large rocks supporting it.
