suFellow PWF member Ken Youngblood and I decided to try and beat the forecasted Friday storms and fish under cloudy skies and cool and breezy conditions.  Water temp around 63 – 65 degrees and clear for 18 – 24 inches.  We fished hard from about 9:30am – 4:30pm with a lunch break and landed 20 LMB with the vast majority being fighters.  We mostly found them on the shoreline today and, as a result, every cast resulted in either a bass or grass.  Fishing frogs was much more enjoyable than the soft plastics due to the abundance of underwater vegetation but less productive.  Malouf seems to have quite a bit of vegetation already, more than last year, unless it’s my imagination.  Crankbaits brought in a handful when out on more open water.  By 4:30pm, the trolling motor battery had had enough of fighting the wind all day.  All in all, a great day on the water and it beat the alternative….working.

Note:  The club boat has been patched/sealed.  Very minimal leakage.  Great job!
