Outing was for 6/4/2025. Weather was warm and calm with clouds slowly coming in. Water was around 70, but can't recall looking at it. First Wednesday Greenhorn Tournament of the season started out with a bang! Got 2nd place with a very small bag, on a very tough to catch large fish lake. Caught quite a few fish under 12 inches, and then once we had our limit had lots of small upgrades to get the couple skinny 13 inchers out of our 5 fish limit. In the end finished with 8.54lbs for the night. The winner had 9.09 and big bass by a wide margin of 4.78lbs. Our big bass was only 2.01lbs by comparison. Overall we shallow junk fished all night, some dock fish, some frog fish, some random fish between docks.

Texas rig worked like a champ in the deep weeds. Fish were taking it on the fall.

Weeknight derby, threw everything everywhere, only bites were picking the yamatanuki into think cover (pads/thick reeds). Adding a flipping wieght helps get it under cover, but try to make wieghtless work. Caught a dozen fish this way

Fishing report is for 7/12/2023. This was a Greenhorn Wednesday night tournament. We fought through tons of 11 and 12 inchers to come up with the win! My brother came through in the clutch with a biggun on the yamamoto hula grub with about 15 minutes in the tournament! It was about 3.5lbs for the 2nd largest fish of the night. Caught a ton of fish on drop shot rugs, senkos under docks. Overall a good outing with a bit of luck at the end.

Lake is full of small bass. Best way I have found to catch consistent keeper fish (12in minimum) is by frogging the pads, or running top water toads through the reeds. Finding 5 keeper bites, and a kicker or 2 will put you in a good spot in most tourneys. a bag over 12 lbs is a big bag on this lake.

Weighted and weightless letting it sink deep down into the weeds and slow retrieve. Lots of small bass was unable to find the Biggins!
