I took two different friends out (one each Saturday & Sunday). I was bottom fishing with orange gulp eggs from the shore. Both days started about 05:30-06:00 and each day I had two on the stringer before I could get completely comfortable. Of course it slowed down, but when did manage to pull our limits each day (mostly about 12"-13"). It got quite hot both days (90+ in the afternoon), but they were still grabbing. We had the lake pretty much to ourselves both days. Now that I have a pontoon boat I can't wait to get back out there and explore. It is a peacefull unimproved lake.
