Hit Malouf at the crack of dawn and caught a couple at the boat ramp on top water pretty quick.  Hopped in the kayak and went right towards the south end and caught a lot of fish along the way. Healthy weed line all the way around the lake and caught bass anywhere from 2ft to 12ft of water.  Most productive areas were at the edge of the weed line and I generally swapped between TRIG with 1/8oz bullet weight or weightless senko. I burned through 1 ½ packs of rages craws and a full pack of senkos. Caught some on a square bill but the bite wasn't as steady so stuck with soft plastics.  Boated 15 bass by 10 a.m. and ended up with over 25 most in the 1 to 2lb range.  Lost 2 around the timber that pulled drag..…..light line + wood = bad.  Never really had a chance to work the dam but made a pass mid-day and marked a lot of suspended fish but far too windy to anchor in 20ft of water with 20mph gusts. 
 

PWF Staff. There was a dead cow towards the south end of the lake. It was full of buzzards and looked like it's been there a couple days. I assume the owner knows, just wanted to give you a heads up just in case.
