Fished this location on Oct 20th from 0730-1130 and caught about 22, all little ones, but very aggressive and fought like much bigger fish.
At first it appeared top-water would work as I got several short-strikes on a Hula popper, but not hook-ups. I did hook one on a silver/green prop bait.
As on my trip here on Oct 15th, a medium diving crank in orange/silver/black was effective as I caught about 10. Unlike last time, they also were hitting very well on a blue/green/orange rattle trap as I probably caught 8. During about a 10 minute period, I probably caught 6-7.
Most were caught on outside grass edges in about 6-10 ft of water. Not much along the dam or the far back cove.
Too bad this location closes for the hunting season.
