I fished this property from 7:30 until 4 PM with a break from 9-10:30. I caught about 35 (25 were under 14” and I put them in the lower tank).  The other 10 were 14-16”, but I did miss several larger ones. One was definitely 4-5 lbs and I had it near the boat on the surface when it took off deep and came loose.

Conditions

Air temp: 65-75
Water temp: 71
Clarity:light stain
Sky: cloudy with some rain

The tank is up about 4 ft and all locations are now able to be fished

Lures used

Rattle trap (chrome/green)
Hard jerk bait (blue/orange) 4-8 ft diver

Those were used to catch most of the fish. The rattle trap was used to hook the large bass located near the far bank from the launch. The jerk bait was effective along the banks especially in the cove at the far right.

Other lures

Shallor cranks (white, green/chart)

Bill,

As usual a very thorough report. Thanks. Can you guess how many feet low the big lake is?

I would say it is still 4-5 ft low judging from the still exposed rocks.
