I hit the lake at about 10 am. The day started off clear and sunny, temp was about 75. The water temp was 77 - 79 all day. I put in at the public access and went north to a little island with a cove behind it. I spent a good deal of time in and around the cove and island. The first few bass I caught were about 4 inches long. Then I caught a berbot, which was surprising, on a small green leech. I caught many small large mouth, about 4 - 6 inches. In the afternoon I finally got a keeper, about 14 - 16 oz. Then the real surprise, I landed a Bluegill that was 9 inches long, 4.5 inches wide, and 2 inches thick. I stayed to try and get enough for dinner but was only able to get 1 more that was about 1/2 the size of the first. I ended up letting them all go. I used everything that I could think of for bass, tubes, spinners, cranks, and just a worm on a hook with no weight. The worm seemed to be the best. Maybe in a few years this lake will be a good bass fishery, IF THE STATE LEAVES IT ALONE.
