Bass ranged from near shore to >6" water. All bass were caught around emergent vegetation. The area where it transitions from shade to sun seemed to be a hot spot. I slowly hopped the tube over the vegetation.

Quantity over quality. Lots of bass were caught, mostly in the 12 to 14" range. A few smaller as well. In 3 hours well over 20 fish caught. Interesting lake. So many hooks and crannies to fish. Good lake for fishing with kayak. A lot of places to get away from winds for a bit.
