On the water by 7am and had 10 or more on Pop-r and frog by 8:15 fishing bewten grass lines.  Visibility about 2 feet and good coloration. Water temp started at 86 but ws up to 90 in some places by end of the trip. Grass fairly heavy but was holding fish in tight.  Weightless worm along edges of grass beds was very productive but only sign of a bite was either a twitching of the line or fish swimming away with bait.  Brought back memories of fishing through hydrilla on Rayburn.  Finished the day by 3pm with 27 harvested under 14" and 20 over 14" and up to 17".  Some looked extremely healthy but most were very thin.  Of all harvested only one had anything in stomach and that was a crawfish. Worm bite was still active when decided to head home. This a great looking lake and one of the best settings I have been to and should have potential for producing some nice fish in the future.  Couple of minor mud holes in road but no problem getting in or out.
