Got there around 6:10 and in the water by 6:30. Foggy and cool air temperature but the water was 78 degrees. Kind of eerie in the water and you can barely see the shore from the tube. Using my new FB 120 I found 10' deep and started trolling. Caught a 10" bass on a Rapala and then a blue gill on, you guessed it, a super duper. It was pretty slow, no shad or other indicators. I headed down to the reeds and then headed across the lake to the other side. I caught this blue gill in the middle, typical size for the day.

Not much luck on that side of the lake so I drifted from the point across the lake NE. I in the middle I metered fish and pretty much just fished the middle. Caught a couple of bigger BG's but most of the 8"-10". This one had yellow around the gill plate.

At the end of the day, as I was headed back to the launch ramp I finally caught one on the white crappy jig I was drifting.
Caught 12 BG's and 1 bass for the day, all C&R. They are in deeper water and spread out. I didn't see and shad on the east end and wonder where the shad are now. It will be three weeks before I can get back out there and might have to fish Bernarsconi and the dam. I want to catch some more crappie.
I met Airona 124 in the parking lot. I was leaving and he was just starting.
