Man, I love this lake! Just get yourself up above and into the 5 MPH and start fishing. As usual, I had to go thru several different techniques to land on what they wanted. Today, it turned out to be a Texas Rig Craw. I bought these Christie Craws, with blue specifically for this lake. The bass love to eat Kokanee, so I've found sticking with blues and purples is the way to go.

First the bad news....mussel inspections have finally made their way to my lake. Good news is they're using commons sense and just inspecting boats to be sure they're clean. At this point, there's no special stickers, dry dock requirements or chaining your boat to the trailer nonsense. Now to fishing. I know this is supposed to be the dog days of summer...but Bullards is still fishing so strong. Check out the banks in the background of my picture. Set up at about 35-40 feet depth off the banks and crush them with a jerk bait or crank bait. Then move in a little and mop up with a shakey head, Texas rig or drop shot.
