Double A was Double A. I missed fishing this lake in the springtime. A couple of things I saw differently on this trip. I didn’t see any schooling action breaking the surface like previous trips. There were big carp jumping out of the water all day which I didn’t know they were stocked. Otherwise, the bass were more savage than I remembered. The bigger ones were not as fat & thick like the past, but they fought harder. They just don’t give up. Got to fish Double A yesterday for a few hours. The weather was calm and hot. It was like glass at times. The clarity was 3-4’ and the water temps were 86-87 degrees. I fished the perimeter grassline for the first half. There seem to be more undergrowth extending from the prominent grassline mat due to the lure getting snagged more often. The fishing was slow but the bites yielded 5 quality bass before the break. I caught them on a walker, chatterbait, and jig. Got to see and talk to Mr Joe at the break. I was able to compliment him on his ferocious bass and gave inputs on the lake. He was always nice as ever. I took a break for some time to cool off and go eat lunch with the family. With hardly any breeze, it was hot & miserable on the water. I decided to fish offshore for the second half along the large point and its ridges. I started out fishing the end of the point and working my way back. I didn’t have any bites on the end of the point. The bites started about halfway along the right ridge. The bass were caught suspended and near the bottom. I was either swimming the lure medium speed getting them to chase it or letting the lure hit bottom then lifting & slowly dragging to get the bite. The bass were mean no matter if it was 1 pound or 7. Hard to tell! I had more success fishing offshore than the perimeter grassline. I ended up with 13 offshore with 2 dinks, a handful of misses, and 18 total. The biggest fish was longer & thin compared to the 8# I’ve caught here before. He was a tank, anyways. Thank you owner and PWF!

Thanks for the great info, Tri! I’ll be there Sunday with my two adult sons. Hopefully we can get into some savage bass!
