Water temps held a pretty solid 54.5 while we were out. Wind was nothing at the start but picked up to 15-20mph by the time we left (6:30-1:00). We eventually figured out a pattern of grinding square bills and/or jerkbaits off any hard bottom points then out over the drop off. As soon as the bait made the transition over the drop off they were getting nailed. This was easily repeatable and allowed us to catch good numbers while we were out with maybe 2/3 keepers and 1 of decent size. We also saw a herd of deer swimming across the lake.

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.
