Lake was treated one week prior. Temp was right around 73, and no wind when we hit the water. Baitfish were popping everywhere. No luck just east of the ramp in the shallows. We moved north to the thick stuff and immediately got into a good top water bite on poppers and a couple on wacky's. Missed several on frogs. Bass were just sucking at the surface and not really exploding. Moved to the docks by Klines and picked up a few on worms and a good one on a frog, and a few more smaller as we moved down the coast. Overall decent numbers but sizes were underwhelming. Bring a small child, makes all the fish look bigger.

Water temps around 73, and little to no wind. Big storm system coming in. We had a top water bite going most of the night that went off pretty decent for numbers but sizes weren't great. It was all in all a night of junk fishing though and we couldn't get a pattern going. Put them in the boat on a wacky, spro e-pop, dropshot, and a chatterbait.
