Been fishing the lake the last 3 weekends and it has been tough. The bass both large and smallies seem to be in the hum drum of summer. I have been catching fish up to 5 pounds but WOW is it tough. It makes for a long day on the lake. If someone says they are tearing them up, it could be a fish tail! There is no prime pattern, and the fish just are not acting right even if it is summer. Don't fish the obvious and don't be afraid to throw something different than normally called for!
