    We fished the morning with reaction baits and had two strikes . After lunch we switched to finesse baits . The water temp was 81 degrees, blue bird skies, one foot visibility and a slight ripple on the water. I fished with a Lews speed stick with 2000 spinning reel lined with 15 lb power pro super slick to vanish fluoro leader. A #2 Neko hook with a shad neo bait my partner fished with a shakey head rigged wacky style on power pro super slick 2 to 8 lb fluoro. We had to literally fish the bank near lay downs no bites three ft from the bank

    We fished Forbes Lake the temperature of the air was 71° and the water temperature 81° with 1 foot visibility and a slight chop on the water. We fished the morning with reaction baits and had no bites or fish. After lunch we switched to finesse baits using a Lews speed rod and a 2000 spinning reel with 15 pound power pro super slick to 10 pound vanish leader the other outfit was a skeet Reese fast 7 foot fast action rod with the 15 pound power pro super slick to 10 pound floro leader with a Berkeley 6 inch show worm. This was rigged wacky style for both of these baits. We had to fish within 3 feet of the bank, if we got further away we got no bites or fish.

    Fish are shallow, very shallow. Flip laydowns all day long for a few select bites. There are plenty of laydowns to cover so keep at it. Tried to find fish deeper but they were reluctant to bite anything.
