Toad
Fished this property from 8 AM until 4 PM.
Conditions:
Air temp: 68 - 80
water temp: 60
sky: mostly cloudy until noon then mainly clear
water clarity: clear to about 4 ft
Caught about 25, harvested 19 (placed in lower tank). Only one was over 14” all the rest did a quick release at the boat.
Lures that worked:
- weighted senko (green/red fleck)
- tiger mid diving crank
- chart. shallow diving crank
- mid suspending hard jerk bait
The key was the outside grass edge along the bank.
Top water did not get any hits (probably a little late when I got there, but I thought the cloud cover would help).
Deep/mid diving crank baits and rattle traps fished in the middle of the tank did not get any hits (this was the go-to pattern in the last couple of months).
