I fished this property from 9AM until 4PM.

Air temp:  76-102
water temp: 85
clarity: 2 ft
Boat ramp still usable

I caught two under 14” on a large, deep diving tiger-pattern crank bait almost immediately.  They were suspended at 8-10 ft in 15-18 feet of water.  Nothing until 1:30 PM when I landed the largest fish I have caught with Private Water on a medium diving, rattling crank bait in an aqua/yellow color.  Unfortunately, I did not have a scale, but the fish measured between 21 and 22 inches.

I caught two more undersized on a silver rattle trap.  It appeared they wanted aggressive, noisy lures, but the fish were not aggressive.  The large one did NOT fight.  In fact, the way I knew I had something was I could not hear/feel the rattles.

I did try various soft plastics (flukes, senko, Texas worm), but no takers.  Hard jerk baits also did not work.
