First cast a bit after 11.

Started off at a deep point that had success in the past but I didn't feel or see any larger fish in the mix of perch.

So went shallow and worked a jerkbait. Ran it by a dock that looked like it might hold a fish, with nothing. Then pitched the dropshot right behind and within a sec or 2, saw the line moving. Set the hook into a decent SMB. Somehow I changed the scale to kg, so it came out to .99kg lol. Looks like it's right at 2.18 lb or so.

Then caught a couple more dinks.

Was in a shallow inside bend. Saw a bunch of bluegill just hanging out. A couple dink LMB in the mix. Saw 4 big cruising carp. Then I saw 6 or 7 schooled up, at first I thought they were carps too but I'm not too sure. If I didn't know any better, they were slender looking LMB. It looked like they had a horizontal stripe. They were pretty good size fish. Probably high 2's-3# size. It was hard to get a good size view of them due to water clarity and their depth.

I was surprised by the cluster of all these fish in this little bend. They weren't active though. Just hanging out enjoying each others company.

Headed back in by about 1:30.

There were a lot of slow pokes and people blocking the docks when I was trying to load up. So that was annoying.

Was everything in shallow still? Did you work in the 15 to 20 fow range? Nothing on the jerkbait or swimbait? You make it sound busy upon exit. BTW, look at the weather at Banks next week. Warmer and calm for there all week.

Yesterday I caught 1 on a swim bait. I'd have to check my notes but I think it was the 2.91 pound fish. Been awhile for me on a swim bait.
