Beautiful day with high in low 80’s and partly cloudy. Water was midly clear with 2 foot visibility. If it wasn’t for the RIDICULOUS wind, would have been a good day for fishing. However, as it was, bank fishing was the only option which meant we couldn’t fish most of the fabulous grasslines in the middle of the lake and around of the islands. 

Most effective bait was a shad pattern chatterbait with a swimbait trailer. Second most effective was a robo minnow sxe shad rigged weedless on a swimbait hook. Lastly, green & purple wacky rigged 5” senko caught the largest fish of the day at just over 3 lbs off the dock. Would love to come back here when the wind isn’t steadily 20-30mph all day.
