I fished the lake on 04/15/23 for a small bass club tournament with a buddy of mine who needed a partner for the event. Earlier in the week, we had a very productive practice catching spawning fish in grass up shallow on flukes and chatterbaits, but over the rest of the week the water temperature dropped from 68+ degrees in our areas to around 62 degrees, and got a lot more stained. Needless to say, the tournament was much tougher on us than the practice day, as we only had 4 bites all day, with 2 of them being decent sized keepers, including the nice 3.5 pounder I have pictured with the report. It was a partly cloudy day, with a steady wind of about 15 miles per hour out of the south for most of the day, later shifting to about 25-30 miles per hour out of the west once the clouds went away and the sun came out. Water temperatures overall ranged from about 62-64 degrees, and the water visibility ranged from about 3 inches of visibility to about a foot of visibility everywhere we went on the lake. Early in the morning, I caught our better fish off of beds in a marina along a bank with matted grass, flipping a D Bomb into holes in the grass or along the edge. After that, we spent the day cranking a Hybrid Hunter along the dam and bridges on the lake, and were able to catch a few doing this as well. Overall, it was a tough day and we were pretty disappointed in our finish after such a great practice, and to cap it all off, I ended up sinking my bass boat at the weigh-in site due to some unfortunate circumstances, and our fish got out of the livewell (except for the one pictured), so we didn't even get to weigh in. Not to worry though, the boat is out of the water and in good shape, and I'll be back out on the water getting more good reports soon. Thank you all for reading my reports, and tight lines!

Water level was up higher than normal, water temps were mid to upper 50’s, clarity was more stained than usual. Started at the cove near Lavonia park ramp flipping flooded bushes. Saw lots of frogs but no fish. Moved my way out to the rip rap and boat ramp and changed to stealth blade jackhammer with green and chartreuse swirl kamikaze swimon thinking it’d be something they could key in on easier. Fished multiple casts paralleling the rip rap in about 10 - 12ft letting the chatterbait hit bottom and erratically yo yo retrieve back making sure to hit as many big rocks as possible. Then I got hammered by a nice prespawn lady bass, all fattened up with eggs. Gave her kiss and thank you and sent her back on her way!
