    First time on lake (beautiful lake and campground) fished last fri 5 hours not a tap. Water temp 86.9 stained wind minimal. Fished sat morn 7 am (late start) fished till 5pm 18 bass all keepers except 2 . largest keeper 4.11 smallest keeper 2.8 all on 6" black grape culprit in 4-6' water slowly crawled. Tried c/r same bait in deeper water off points nothing. I love fishing deep water but this lake makes me appreciate the old days of bank pounding. Fished Sunday in the rain water temp dropped 10 degress wind out of the south 8-10 mph caught three bass all three good fish over two pounds healthy chunks. Great place good little bait shop he carry's quite a few soft baits in usable colors John is very knowledgeable and willing to help you out.
