A little bit of wind when we first got out, just enough to put a chop on the surface. Caught a fish on a wacky on nearly the first cast and another s short while later on a shower blows but then it was dinks and pretty dead the rest of the evening. Once the wind calmed down a top water bite turned on and caught a good number of 13" bass on a Shimano popper, and lost several better ones as well. They just seemed to be sucking the tail down and not getting hooked well. Switched to a popmax and they started horking it down pretty well at that point and made it a lot easier to pull them in. We managed 4th place with 3 fish for 4.41lbs. Big bass was around 3.5lbs, and winning weights were scattered between 4.5 and 10lbs.

Had a great day out with the smallest. Water temps hovering right around 61°, air temp a bit cooler. A slight breeze from the North West putting a little motion on the surface. Started the day off pretty quick with a bass on a wacky rig and then another on a t-rigged stick bait. From that point on it was pretty much the Jerkbait for the rest of the day. Every 6-10 minutes I hooked up with another bass on the 110 SR. The jerkbait far exceeded my expectations. I caught 15 total on it during the ~3.5 hours we were out. We caught a few on frogs, ned's, stickbaits as well. And my little angler in the photo managed to outfish my co-angler again.
