Got to the lake about 6pm. I flipped the Guide on the east side with a Rage Craw and jig heading south, then turned back north and tried a swim jig with no action. The lake is higher than a week ago but I was still able to squeeze under the Guide and fish the west side. I alternated between a frog on the edges of the pads and grass lines and a Rage Craw and Rage Bug in the pads. I only caught one here on the Rage Craw. Fished as far west as I could staying on the south shore. The west center and north shore are almost inaccessible unless you're in a kayak and can get on top of the grass.
I headed back under to the east side and fished an entire lap. Down the north side I caught one on a Rage Craw in some pads. Then nothing until the lone dock on the east shore, just past it I caught another in the pads. I then cut across due to a stationary boat to the south shore. Here it was getting dark so I switched to a buzzbait along the shore and through the pads. This nabbed the biggest of the night right at 4lbs. Almost to the SW corner and one boiled at my buzz so I dropped it and tossed in a Senko.... nothing the first cast so I threw back and let it sit about 10 seconds, lifted up and felt him, set the hook and had to get him through the pads to the boat, once there he turned around and went back in the pads, I pulled him out again and with one final jump at the side of the boat he kindly returned my Senko and swam away, never even got me hand on him! Would have gone about 3? This is why I don't use nets when bassin', you miss out on too much of the action!!
Three different color Rage Craws worked and the buzz was a black Strike King Double Take. Algae bloom has started, it was really bad in the east end so bring your noisy baits to get their attention!
