Total Fish/Sizes : 29 bass, 3 over 14", 4 bluegill
Lures Used : ned rig, swimjig, popper

Arrived with the storm breaking apart and heading off. Plenty of early bites using a modified ned rig I saw on Wired2Fish called the Tiny Child. It does work well for a weedless ned rig type bait and I had fish on my first 3 of 4 casts using it. Gave that setup to my guest to fish and picked up a swimjig and was able to elicit some good action with it so I stuck with that most of the morning. My guest was able to pick up a few topwater bites with a popper. Most of the bites were along the west and northwest bank.

Based on prior experience I was expecting more grass, but it was mainly up in the creek mouth and one spot nearby. The rest of the pond was very fishable.
