Started fishing at 7am, was the first one on the water that morning. Ended up being about 5 boats/pontoons on the lake later on throughout the day. I left at 1pm.
Water clarity is 3-4 ft. Water is very dark from that point on. I missed a few fish and a few shook off my barbless hook as well. I did end up catching a 18" LMB that I think was about 4 lbs. Caught it on a white with silver sparkle senko. I saw tons of fish come full speed at my lure but then miss it on the fall, they must need some target practice I guess.
Saw most fish on the right side of the boat launch side of the lake on the edge of lilly pads.
I saw nothing but big fish. No bass under 3 lbs and no trout under 2 lbs.
There were also tons of surfacing trout, but I was after bass only that day.
I love the catch and release only rule, but I don't enjoy the single barbless hook.
I will be back to nab another one though.
The picture is my girlfriend with the fish.
