So with the warmer trend, I figured the South End of the Lake would be good with the shallow flats and cover down there. I was began throwing a few different baits with a couple bites here and there, but once I tied on a Rat-L-Trap the bites really started to pick up. Fishing around docks, grass banks, and lily pads. Lots of little chunks, nothing huge but a fun day on the water! "

Tried a ploppers, poppers, walking baits, and frogs, just didn't seem interested. Switched to some lipless cranks and started catching them right off the edges of the lily pads and drop offs. Pretty much cranking them in as fast as we could turn the handles. Did a bit of sight fishing in the shallows and caught them with a wacky worm, but the bait of the day was definitely the red eye."
