Look at this report as a "conditions" report and not a fishing report with no gps coordinates and apply it to your own lakes and that should help keep any panties from bunching over the whole "secret" deal :)

I found a normally clear water lake a little cloudy when I arrived today. I also found water temps from 50-52*, alot colder than I anticipated. It was overcast with very occasional drizzle and a light breeze. I started with reaction baits but found the bass to be in a very non-committal mood. Lots of misses or swipes but zero hard strikes.

I countered this by slowing down and downsizing my baits. I ended up, after several lures, using a 3.5" swimbait and an extremely slow retrieve! For every bass I caught I had three short strikes and the better fish would just follow. If I was able to see them behind it I would stop it in their face and they would hit. Overall I boated nine fish, including two trout. The two trout and lack of size gave this a 3 rating.

This was a perfect opportunity for a soft jerkbait but guess what I didn't have?!
