Two Broseco rookies, myself and member Danny Renfro, fished hard from 6:15am to 8:30pm on this awesome fishery.  We didn't quite hit the high bar (41 lbs) set by Mr. Brady last month, but we got close!  Our best 5 went 38 lbs, 2 oz. Danny caught a 7 - 9 to start the day and I caught an 8 - 13 at 7:45pm to end the day.  That was my 3rd time during the day to set a PB. 

Big swimbaits were the bait of choice on Saturday.  We caught 13 fish over  6 lbs,  9 on swimbaits.  I caught the 8 - 13 on a Whopper Plopper.  Surprisingly, this was one of the few topwater bites we had all day.  Danny did catch a 7 - 1 late on a buzzbait also.  Thank goodness we kept trying.  Soft plastics were poor as well. Zero fish on Yellow Magic, spinnerbaits and frogs. 

Danny found a mid-afternoon pattern by dragging a crankbait across the bottom along the deeper north end.  After he caught fish on 3 consecutive casts, I put down my big senko and switched to a CB!  During this feeding frenzy, he caught a 6 - 6, and I caught a 7 - 0.  For the day, we caught 45 fish, with only 3 harvested.

Other observations and notes:

- Water temp. was 77 - 81.  Wind 10 - 15mph.  Cloudy most of the day.  Water while stained a bit, definitely not muddy.

- We caught two of the biggest bream I've ever seen.  One hit a big swimbait!

- After switching to a new swimbait, I had a big fish hit it 3 times on one cast late in the afternoon, and I missed it each time.

- Fish were caught all over the lake.  The east side dam was probably the least effective for the day.

Premium property, convenient location, nice oversized boat, strong batteries, perfect weather, a sturdy net, expert boat captain, big hungry bass, fun & fellowship in the great outdoors. What more can you ask for?
