We launched right before dawn to an air temp of 70 degrees and water temp of 81 degrees with lots of top water activity but absolutely no bites on topwater lures. Continued to be very slow through early morning with just a few small bass on swimjigs in the central lake submerged trees. They were not chasing anything, with first few caught with swimjig sinking to bottom. Switched to babybass-colored Senkos which landed about 20 fish through about 11:00am when the increasing heat (paired with zero breeze) drove us off the lake. Top 5 fish all weighed 2.5+ pounds while all other were dinks we would have culled. A few 18-20" fish looked extremely boney and unhealthy. No action on the dam or the east shore. The lake was crystal clear except the dam side which was quite murky, I think due to lots of turtle activity. All-in-all a good day, but a little disappointed vs. other recent 1/2 days on this lake.
