We went out on opener for a few hours, the water temp was 64-65 and it seemed like bass were already off beds and in post spawn patterns. Most fish were caught throwing an evo with a live magic shad trailer on a flat or outside weed edge and bass would hit it on the pause after ripping through vegetation. Other bass were caught on a ned and a jig

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.
