The smaller bucks were the ones up shallow. The big girl of the day came about 75 yards off shore, about 10’-12’ of water, in green vegetation. Slow rolling the finesse swimbait with a slight pop of the reel every once in a while.

working chatterbait slowly along the rocks, up pretty shallow near the docks. This guy hammered it. Biggest fish I've personally caught out of this lake, weighed in at 3.75 lbs.

I only got about an hour on the water as we were fighting ridiculous wind in the kayaks. The couple of smaller bass I did catch came off a dock & seawall on the north end of the lake. The wind was blowing hard against the particular area so I cast my jig out in about 6-8 ft of water slow dragged it along the bottom near the dock & seawall and got crushed!

I was out for the Eclipse and just fishing along the bank. Caught my fish flipping a 1/4* oz jig up to the bank and med-slow retrieve back. My fish were under docks and on rock.

The absolute best lure here and in these smaller rivers & creeks is the Arkie Lures mini deep crankbait. They don’t have it listed here, but they very cheap so if you lose one getting hung up no big deal. Throw natural colored ones in decent current & along the bank making sure it’s making contact with the bottom. A smaller natural colored jig will always get bit as well!

I caught this one from the shore in an area that you can't get down to grab the fish. I was a little worried with the 8lb Mastiff pulling it over the railing but it had no issue and the fish was landed!

Was throwing the BFE Texas Rigged in to a Beaver Dam and pulled this guy out! You want to move really slowly and get between every stick if possible.
