Actually fished both Saturday and Sunday. Super calm, bluebird sky on Saturday. "Perfect conditions"... I threw everything I had in the boat on Saturday and how a person can fish 10 hours on the "Best bass lake in the Country" and catch only one bass...well, it's just not the best bass lake in the country. For better news....On Sunday, I only had 4 hours to fish before I had to leave. I left everything else in the boat and just threw the trusty wacky rig at and around docks and tree overhangs. It was windy, with very large rolling waves all morning. So bad you couldn't stand unassisted by a chair. But it was a great four hours of fishing. The picture was the result of my last cast of the day, at the boat dock casting to a small shrub with some grass in about 12 inches of water that was literally 10 feet from the ramp. Sometimes, we can make bass fishing too complicated. If the going is rough...grab a Senko and catch some fish. I left the lake very unhappy on Saturday and had complete attitude adjustment on Sunday.

Fished the BBT Saturday & Sunday could only manage 1 good bite a day. Ended up with18# day 1 and 15 1/2# day 2. Started the morning fishing rock piles with shakey heads and neko rig with the new Mustad Alpha hook I’ve been testing (works great!) Switched to the frog at 10am both mornings which produced the bigger bites.
