I fished the lake on Sunday, July 7th with my tournament partner Iain for the very first tournament ever held on the lake. It was a hot and still day, with sunny skies and daytime temperatures over 95 degrees, and a steady northwest wind at about 8 mph. The water clarity lakewide was about a foot to a foot and a half of visibility. We spent the day targeting fish in 3-6 feet of water in the morning and 8-20 feet of water as the day went on with a drop shot and a neko rig on bridge pilings on the shaded side. We finished the day with a limit of under 16 inch keepers for 8.63 pounds which got us 8th place in the tournament. We also managed to catch several good over sized fish, including a 3.50 pounder and a 4.05 pounder, and we caught around 25 fish in total! All in all it was a great day on the water and the lake is fishing great if you can find areas where the fish are grouped up, but there is a lot of dead water on the lake, so get behind those graph screens and get to finding them!
