Started the morning at 6am and fished the entire lake with frogs but no luck. Switched to senkos and boated one to the left of the boat dock and lost another good one near the dam. My son picked one up on a white spinner bait by the islands. Fished the rest of the lake and no more hits. Pulled back up to the boat dock around 10am to grab a snack and started throwing shad colored crankbaits off the dock. Quickly got one and over the next hour we caught 10 from 2 to 4 pounds throwing to the middle of the lake. That bite slowed from the dock so we took the boat back out and went down the middle of the lake still throwing/ trolling crankbaits and picked up a few more. Also caught 6 huge crappie and about a 12 pound catfish that got off at the boat all on the crackbaits. Didn't catch any close to the bank or the weed line, all were in the middle of the lake. Weeds are getting thick 20 feet out from the bank and will be hard to fish in a month or so. Wind picked up about 2pm and we called it a day.
Beautiful property and look forward to fishing it again.
