Started the morning extra early because of some barking dogs at my house.  Met Brad Wemhoener at the lake and was fishing at first light.  Lake was calm.  Water temperature was 83F with maybe 8 inches visibility.  Fished top water on the north side of the lake first and moved around.  First fish was at 8:17 AM on a chartreuse wacky rig.  All the fish were caught on a marked brush piles except one was caught in the southeast corner near the dam. Brad caught the big fish of the day on the southwest brush pile on a 10 inch brown chartreuse twister tail worm.  We didn't weight it but it was a high 3 or low 4 pounder.  We tried to catch some offshore with various crank baits, square bills and jerk baits.  No takers.  Heat ran us off the lake about noon.  We went to Pond King and discussed a pontoon boat and bought a couple of Alabama rigs.  We went to lunch in Muenster.  After cooling off and a change of clothes we hit the water again.  No fish caught in the afternoon.  We both loved the lake but it just was not our day.  We both pledged to come back next spring and stay in the cabin so we could fish two mornings and an evening.
