No wind, significantly humid, there was a cold snap the night before and the surface temp was pretty cool when we got out. Didn't have any luck on top water so threw a frittside for a while and caught some keepers. There was a lot of surface action going on where the squirrels were dropping things into the water from the trees and we picked up a few more bass in those areas. Eventually got onto a good jerkbait patter. Throwing up at the shadows and jerking back to the boat. A lot of them were hitting right at the boat. Caught a good number of keepers doing this. Also landed a 26lb carp.

By the raw mouths it looked like primary forage for bass right now in Maple is Blueish Craws. Started fishing around 6:40 and had what amounted to a 17lb bag by 11:00am. Water temp was 73-75 for most of the time we were out. Fish were out the middle during the early morning and popping on small baitfish, but couldn't get a lot of top water working. Was able to get a couple on a prop bait and a big popper. Once the sun came out the bass started moving up to the docks/laydowns and fishing got pretty good. Natural cover seemed to work the best with shallow diving crankbaits in blue/silver colors. We managed over 30 fish by the time we went in for the day, with only a few under 14" for the whole day. Target the laydowns with fast moving shallow divers (lipless or squarebills).

Beautiful day to fish. High 40's when we launched and very little wind. Water clarity was terrible. We pulled up to a few likely spots and didn't find anything for the first hour or so out then we got into them. My daughter outfished us throwing the Ned. I had a couple good ones on the Megabass 110sr and a Berkley Jack. Numbers wise though, the Ned stole the show. Just letting it sit on bottom and SLOWLY dragging around.
