Property Name : Rock Chimney
Reservation Date : 05/15/2020 AM -
Total Fish/Sizes : 20 / 14"-19"
Lures Used : topwater, chasebait, Senko

My morning at Rock Chimney consisted of four phases: topwater (fun but too short), chasebait, no bites, and subtle-bite Senko.  There was almost no overlap between phases.  All the bass were healthy and between 14 and 19" with most about 16".  Most of the bass were just outside the weed line except early topwater action which was closer to shore.  It was also a day with many lost fish.  They either threw a treble hook during a jump or were avoiding hookup by just holding onto the tail of the worm.  The area hasn't received much rain and the lake level is still low. As usual, I had a nice talk with Mr. Stanley.
