After having fun last night I kept thinking- I'm 5 min from the boat landing.
So I got up at 5:30, had some coffee and headed out the door.
Sunrise was perfect!
First few were Pnuts
Caught two 18"ers so we are having fish for dinner!
11 fish in the boat - lost a few in the thick stuff - Caught them all on top water before 9am!
Tried a jerk bait for a little with no luck.

I liked it so much, I bought the company
Barry, we need to "hook up" one morning. You're 5 minutes away...I'm 5 football fields away
We were down there the other morning catching the smaller bass by dragging Ribbit Frogs across the pads...fun to watch them little boogers explode through the pads We only managed a few small bream on crickets....
"Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof." Proverbs 18:21
Did a little of both. Only caught two bass, both were small. YOu are exactly right, it is far too easy to drop in and fish for a few hours after work, and what a beautiful lake.
It's a great lake whether you're just running the boat trails, fishing, or hunting. I'll be out there for early Teal and have been checking it randomly. Are they hitting a certain topwater or pretty much anything you're throwing?
