Bluegill
Sunday, June 12. We got to the lake around 4:50 and we drove down to Bettys creek and started fishing points. I (Judah) hooked about a 3-pounder on a ned rigged craw but before we could net him he threw my bait! So as the sun started to go down, we moved shallow for an epic topwater bite! We caught a five-fish limit, and the fish were caught on a spook and a buzzbait!

Shad
Great Shad spawn bait to toss on them where they are breaking the surface. Color not as important as just finding where the fish are active. Good buzzbait alternative
