Fished Gallant Elms for the first time this year on March 8th. 

Got a little late start around 8 and the property water level is down about 5ft. Water temp was 63-65 degrees, sky was clear along with the water to 7ft. 

I tried various top water lures without success. I took a 1 1/2 hour break for a work Telecon and got back on the water around 10:30. I did not have any success along the dam nor in the cove opposite the launch area. I did have success in the large rocky cove with a paddle tail along the bank, in the standing timber, and between the standing timbers and the far bank. I ended with over 20 with 9 culled(several cullers did a quick release near my kayak). Most of the non-culled were around 2-3 lbs. On my last cast near the old pier I caught a 20” 4 lb bass. Good way to end the day.
