Weather was mostly sunny with a slight breeze. Caught 9 bass and 1 pike. Most fish were found in 3-6 fow in sparse lilly pads but I also caught a few off docks and a swimming raft.

First day back on the water and it was a good one!! Me and the hunny got on a nice bass bite fishing ned rigs around weed lines, with good size and numbers!! Key to getting bites was dragging the bait rather than hops along the bottom.

Best bass lake in the cities. Make sure you put your kayak or whatever you can on it. Launch over by courage center across the street at the tiny park or on the other side of the lake which is harder at Aldine Park. Best spot on the lake is back right corner dock , last dock next to brown wood house. They either have a pontoon or ski boat around. You could wade fish using the park on that side too but Best area by far is the side covered in Lilli pads in that back right corner opposite side of the lake from the launch. The launch has an illegal chain on it don't worry about the chain stuff walk around it, it's a public lake and launch, I've been fishing it 40 years.
Omnia Community MemberBronze AmbassadorSpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueTubesSeasonFallStructureLily PadsGreat lake to fish. The public ramp doesn't allow trailers so make sure you canoe it or kayak without a trailer. Also make sure the homeowners that boat on the lake actually see you. A couple have not paid attention and have been very reckless in how close they get.

Burn and pause, strikes as you pick up the burn again

Started casting into the dying lily pads. Largemouth were hitting hard with a slow drag right through the foliage, letting the worm hover slightly above the ground. Mid-morning
