First time on Moonshine, and it is a fishy looking lake and a nice-sized lake.  Lots of timber. Fished alone 3/23 (both my fishing buddies needed to stay home) from about 10am until dusk, with a two-hour siesta in the middle.  Clear skies all day, high around 72, wind gusty then finally layed down near dusk.  Water temp began at 58 degrees and made it up to 62 by the end of the day.

The morning was cool, windy and slow.  Caught only 6 by noon.  Tried a gold/black spinner and a tube worm, but no interest.  They began biting consistently after the water warmed to about 60-61 degrees. They loved the watermelon fluke, but a TX rigged Senko worked almost as well.  Near dusk the 360GT worked well. 

I caught most of them in the middle of the lake in all the stuff, about 4 to 12 feet deep. Looking forward to coming back here.
