Flipped socks with spinner baits, hard to water, and wacky rigs. Only caught the 1 on a wacky rig off the campground marina docks. Be ready for weeds. Fishing seemed to be better in the north lake.

Found a shoreline that had some good baitfish activity in the evening. Started throwing jerkbaits and cranks in the area. Any thing with a little purple in it seemed to work best. Great evening and a really fun bite
