Lures Used : crankbait, frog, soft plastics

I've been lucky on the weather this year, after having bad luck all last year. Perfect day, high 83, light winds, mostly cloudy. Caught fish all afternoon, mostly on soft plastics, but a couple on crankbait and one good hit on a frog late. No culls. All fish looked healthy and good fighters. No strong pattern, pretty much all over the lake and at varying depths. A few caught on brush piles, but not consistently.

The murk from dredging the lake appears to be improving. Certainly hasn't hurt the fishing or the fishes' health. The area is well kept as usual with grass mowed, and the cabin looks really good. The boat is showing some signs of age with epoxy repair, but leaks were minor and handled with a little bailing. The weeds were in control, a little milllfoil and some slimier green, but this only affected crankbait fishing, and did not bog the motor at all.
