Largemouth BassTechniqueFootball JigsSeasonSummerStructureRock PileLittle guy, but I am sure are probably others. Problem being they are super pressured on this small body of water. Had to fish it VERY slow.

Not much happening. This one one of two that I caught today. Still lots of vegetation around the edges where they are feeding on bluegill. Still quite hot but the temps are going down in the evening. Water is still low. Hoping for more rain soon to bring back water levels.

Wasn’t a lot biting. A few crappie and this guy. Was dragging along the edge of rock and he hammered it. Water is still very low but they appear to be working on correcting the issues with the overflow. Hopefully will be done soon.

Caught a 13 inch and a 15 inch. A few smaller ones but was a good day all in all from the kayak. Normally a hard bite at this location and was surprised. Rod I used is a Cadence CR7 medium heavy. They don’t have those to select here. Not too bad of a rod.

Not many bites at all today. Caught this one by flipping into partially submerged grass patches near shallow points. Flipped in and made two cranks on the reel and this sucker nailed it.

Smaller fish. They tend to bite along the shoreline.

It is hot! Got lucky this guy even bit. Water continues to be very low and that hasn’t helped the water temperatures. Fish are typically very deep right now according to the Garmin. Tiny bass fry are still feeding in the shallows though.

CrappieTechniqueDrop ShotSeasonSummerStructureStumpsSeems all fish are deep at the moment. Caught 5-6 a foot or so off bottom in 10-12 feet deep. Drop shot was the only way to get them to bite. They are still apparently still feeding on bass fry that can be seen in the shallows. Heat is miserable for the fish and for those fishing! Water is still very low.
