Had decent expectations for this lake given the weather conditions but man was it dead!

Topwater = Including buzzbait, frogs, even Rapalas for crying out load, nothing!
Reaction = Spinnerbait, swim jig, jerkbait, had one about 3lbs dart out and look at the swim jig but he saw me and turned back.
Bottom = Jigs, pitching, flipping, Senkos, grubs, not so much as a tap.
Depths = 1 to 20 feet.

Trolled the Rapala and it was game on for the trout but that was it. Water temps were 61* and it sprinkled once. Launched at a shade before first light to the sounds of an owl nearby and bagged it at 0930.

Did you launch your bass boat? Back when I fished there gas engines were not allowed. I also found some nice trout on a Rapala - one was 19 inches, 2 pounds and 11 ounces. A pic is shown on the overview of the lake.

I keep a well modified Jon Boat on hand for these little gems ;)

Dangs, If 8theB8 can't put a bass in the boat at Bosworth, then I think I'll just let that lake go until next Spring. (-:
(I've always wanted to hit that lake. Obviously since the record bass last year, and many other great reports.

Thanks Quad! In all honesty I could have made a couple more laps around the lake and really got into some finesse tactics but being in the Jon Boat means tackle limitations and finesse wasn't on my mind when I loaded up. I will try this one again before it closes but will bring a trout rod just in case lol.

Just talked to a neighbor down the street this am and said he caught his personnel best 8 pounder on that lake last week.
