So went out on Sat and was on the lake by 6:00 am as usual but it's been getting lighter in the mornings (obviously) and 6:00 was like full daylight. Did an experiment and tried the wedding rings with no corn (actually forgot the corn). Managed to scratch out one 12 inch plus a little perch. Felt like maybe I missed the "bite". Time to step it up! Sunday on the lake by 5:00 am. Fishing boats on the lake with their little red and green lights on. Now we are talking. Did not see much on the surface so headed to the aerator. One rod on the surface and the other with two colors out. Got a fish at about 5:15 am on the way to the aerator. Went to three colors out at the aerator and got another fish at about 5:30. Then back to the shallows on the south end picked up a few more. No huge action but consistent. My fish finder was picking up shoals in the middle of the lake next to the boat launch on Davis. They shoals were so big that my shallow alarm kept going off. They were at around 20 feet so I let out two colors and got into a few. I saw other boats in that area catching fish too. Six fish in the boat. One or two lost at the boat. The last one was at about 8:45 and he stripped line. 14.5 inches and a little over 1lb 4 oz. Nothing on the surface rod all day. Not even a bite. Out of there by 9:00 am. Fish for dinner, we live like kings.
