    Re: Lake of Egypt, Johnson Co (Rudeman)

    Fished LOE yesterday in the typhoon wind. Lake was white capping in the open water esp by the power plant. Water temp 63-68 depending on location. Water is warming up fast this year.

    Started off by the launch on all the South banks to get out of the wind as much as possible. Caught 4 or 5 LM right off the bat on traps ripped out of the grass. Right now in most places grass comes out from the shore to about 5-6 feet (visable on the surface). Pulled up a lot of green healthly grass from under water. Biggest was only 2.5 lbs or so.

    Moved on down the lake past most development on the South side and partner and I just started hammering them on spinnerbaits. Fish were on the steeper sloping banks in 6-10 ft of water. 6-7 that way, biggest 3.5 lbs. Did not find any fish in the backs of the creeks. Probably caught 20 or so LM's throughout the day. Tried to catch some crappie for the table and managed 6, but all were short.

    All in all a great day, but that wind kicked my butt! lake is in great shape and should really produce again this year. All fish were very healthy and fat.
