First cast, at about 8:20AM. Lower clouds. Water calm enough, so I want to try and catch something on top water. 5 mins in and I get a strike, but that was it. After about 20 mins or so, wind picked up a bit, so I switched to mid/deep crank and swimbait.

Caught a dink on the crank right away. Then caught a couple of perch, pretty good size. Caught several more dinks on the crank.

Wind died down a bit, and started using a tube and dropshot into the mix. I decide to boat to a dock from my last outing. I see a boat about 150 yards fishing along the shoreline going away from that area.... I'm guessing they most likely hit that spot already, but I still tried just to see if anything would react. Skunked at that spot.

No bass on the tube today, did feel nibbles from tiny fishies.

Went to the other side of the lake and started working along the deeper waters, 17-20'. Not even a nibble. I started going back into the shallows again. Skipped a swimbait underneath the sunny side of the dock right past a submerged lift in about 4-5'. Right when the swimbait got above the lift, I get a strike. Small guy at ~11". But I see a bigger one, ~15", dart from underneath and chasing.

I tried that pattern for another 45 mins without any decent size fish. Just more dinks.

Decided to pack up, but along the way, I stopped off at the other side of the lake and caught a couple more dinks on dropshot.

Surface water temp started off at 77 degrees. High 80 by the time I left at 12:30PM.
