The wife and I spent the weekend at Yates place and as always did NOT disappoint. The host and cabin were flawless and the lake is in great shape. The wind on the other hand was a beast.. Friday evening and Saturday the fishing was slow with a few dinks when they would bust shad in the middle of the lake. Cruised the shallow coves several times and began to see signs of bass moving up. First makings of a bed spotted late Saturday. Threw every thing in my tackle box, Sunday morning the bite improved and was able to land, right before time to pull out for the weekend of course, a 7 lber and one about 3 that was fat. One or two more days and it would be on. Spent most of the time throwing lizards and spinning baits but never got hit. All the fish came on a watermelon bass assassin in the schoolies and the big ones on finesse worm in the shallow.
Total tally, 9 harvested and 2 released.
