I fished Malouf for approximately 7 hours.  Water temperature was 58 degrees and the clarity was good.  Action was immediate and fairly consistent except around noon.  I caught approximately 16 fish 9 of which were below 14 inches.  The largest I caught was 2.5 lbs.  I had at least four over two pounds.  Nothing large but all were excellent fighters. 

One thing I did notice was the shape of the bass.  All seemed to have a slight football shape which may indicate that the removal is having an effect.  Or they could just be filled with eggs.  Of the half dozen lures I used, I only caught fish on two.  Initially, they seemed to prefer a soft plastic motor oil crawfish immitator.  After a few hours I switched to a soft jerk bait (again motor oil) that seemed to be getting some aggressive bites.
