Total Fish/Sizes : 20+
Lures Used : Soft plastics, bladed jig

Fished from 1:40 to a little after 6 on Saturday and caught over 20 bass, most of which in the 1.7 to 2.5 weight class.  Water visibility was 1 to 2 ft and no slab crappie this time around. Used a variety of soft plastics and caught fish all around the lake. Took me a lttle longer this time to find the fish as most of the blue gill have moved off the beds, weeds are dying back, and the lake turnover has begun.  Rotated between TRIG, shaky head and drop shot and caught equal amounts on all three methods. Largest of the day was 4lbs 4oz caught on a bladed jig in open water and hard stroking it above the thermocline.  Caught a couple in open water, with depths close to 18ft, and thermocline at 13ft(ish). Second biggest was 3.4 and caught between the weedline and timber.  I can't wait for some rain and water level to rise as Eric added some trees at one end of the lake and going to be a hot spot.
