I fished this property from 7AM until 4PM and caught 29 and probably missed about 4.

- 24 were under 14”
- 4 between 14 and 17 “
- 1 over 17” (2.1 lbs)

Conditions:

-Water temp:  74-80
-Air temp:  60 at 7AM
-High probably 98
- Water: Clear to 3ft

Lures that produced:

- Chart. weighted fluke fished early and near stumps: 7 total (I caught the 2.1 lb on this lure)

- Deep crank (blue//chrome): 9 total; fished fast the in deep water

- Med. crank (tiger pattern): 5 total (fished also deep shore line)

- Silver rattle trap: 5 total (fished very fast)

- Hard jerk bait (5-7 ft) (black/silver): 1 total

- Med. crank (blue/chart.): 2 total

Lures that did not work:

- any top water
- swim bait
- chatter bait
- shallow crank

The fish population looks very healthy and I saw many groups of small schooling bass and bait fish. The bank to the left of the launch point gets to 20 ft very quickly and I caught several in that area.  I also had probably a 5 lb chasing a smaller bass I caught on the rattle trap.  Most of the bites were very aggressive.
