Looking for something different I headed to Bonney Lake which is a very small lake. Got there about 7:30 and was met with heavy fog. Having never been on/to this lake, rowing my pontoon made for a whole lot of head turning trying to figure out where I was going.

Nothing happening early on with a variety of lures tested. Finally at least a drive by so I felt better already.
After a few hours I had a few classic planters on size 70 Hot Shots. I went to this size because the water level was so low and plenty plant life under the water. Also tried some Daredevle spoons which started working also.

Ended up C&R 17 planters as the action picked up around noon. Orange seem to be the plugs best color as I switched over to a FF. As for spoons, Brass was the best. Most of my action was like clockwork up the right shore where 3 white chairs are out on the homes lawn. I sorta figured out that I was on the edge of a weed line because if I got to close to the Lilly it got into vegetation and slight further out nothing but strikes. Also the far left cove produced about 1/3 of my fish. It was foggy all day long by the way.
