Arrived late  at 11:30 am a bit deflated by the cold and wind after zeroing the day before at Black Hat. First time at this lake and wasn't sure what it was like. Wind kicked up, air was upper 40s into lower 50s and water was 65 degrees. Once we saw how much vegetation there was we immediately went with light wacky rig and weightless rattling creature baits in green pumpkin.  Received hits first few cast and renewed our spirits. Fish were on the banks all the way out to the edge of grass. Several fish right on the points in shallow water as well. Went 2 times around the lake until near 7:00 pm and ended with 52 bass. The bass hit hard and put up good fights. 90% were  1 ½ lbs with a few 2 plus and 1 over 3 lbs. 

P.S thankful I have a twin troller boat with foot pedals.  Makes fighting the wind so much easier.
