Water was pretty clean and clear, a bit of wind and chop when we hit the water at 5:00. Weeds are absolutely THICK. In 15' of water the weeds were breaking the surface. Air temp was sitting around 85 and water temp was hovering between 76 and 79 wherever we went during the evening. We got into fish pretty quick and picked up our initial limit by 6:30. We only managed to cull up 1lb with 3 other fish as the evening went on though. All but one of the fish I caught were on 110SR, and the one other was on a frog. In retrospect, we should have come back to the area we started catching fish in a LOT earlier. The jerkbait fish hit on a long pause every single time, but you could see the bass following the bait all the way up the boat. Top weight was a ~15lb bag with a 4 1/4lb kicker that got big bass as well. We pulled out with 9.6lbs and no money.

Water temp sitting around 69°F. Water clarity was nuts for this lake. Could pretty easily see 10' deep, which with the amount of grass and wind made it hard to fish. Wind conditions were pretty nuts (20mph+). It seemed to be changing directions constantly and we couldn't really get a position for any period of time. The winning anglers were able to sit on a couple of points for pretty much the entire night and fill their bags. We hit the banks and pads and put a keeper in early (1.5lbs), but didn't get another keeper (3lbs) until much later in the evening. Both on wacky rigs. We spent the evening aiming for the small gaps in the pads and caught several small ones and two keepers.
