clear
All of the coves straight out from the ramp
Bass, pickerel, crappie
Mepps/Rooster tail, 4" sluggo/threadfin plastic bait

pretty fast presentation on retrieves, kept the rooster tail about a foot underwater, jerked the plastic bait like a crippled minnow
What a beautiful day....I went out there in the kayak today. If anyone saw the red kayak with the rods sitting up on the back in rod holders that was me. I didn't get on the lake until about 11am...when I was launching the kayak a guy told me he was very disappointed and didn't catch anything. Then on my way out another guy was coming in and said the same thing. Instead of taking a left and going under the bridge like I usually do, I went straight out from the ramp......fished the first cove where those powerlines cross in front of the ramp.....and.. On my fifth cast I landed a SLAB crappie on a mepps/roster tail.....next cast produced a skinny yet looong pickerel. Then I saw some bushes shaking and paddled slowly a little closer to see what it was...and it was a huuuge snake. It was either mating or trying to swallow something bigger than itself because it was randomly shaking the bush lol.. Fished that rooster tail for the next few hours and didn't get any hits. Paddled next to some family or something who was landing their canoes at a sand-ramp in a cove and one of the girls was talking something about her "boobs" and how her bikini barely covered her nipple....man if only I'd brought my **** binoculars Paddled toward the back and got within view of the I-64 bridge and there's a big tree laid down in the water on the right shoreline heading toward the bridge....something told me to switch to this 4 inch rubber bait that looks like a mix between a slugg-o and a threadfin shad....and on the first cast to that log I nailed a 2 pounder....he fought really well too.... Paddled up under the I-64 bridge just to see what was over there, nothin but swamp. Turned back around and headed in around 2:30pm. All in all it was a 3 fish day which IS an IMPROVEMENT based on what I do at Harrison Lake lol

Suspending cranks,spinner bait,senkos with Gamagatsu bleeding bait hooks
3 to 10 feet
. My first pattern was to try to find the mama chubby’s on creek channel bends, but no takers. Began fishing the small coves where the creek channel was the closest. Every cove that structure and wind produced bass.
Largest bass was 19"length by 13"girth. Took awhile to find the color they preferred. All fish came off BPS senkos "mistake” color(looks like rainbow trout color to me).A semi fast, short jerking presentation is what they wanted. I’d make casts behind any irregular feature, then would bring it to the side or front and let it fall. BLAM everytime. I believe wind was the key. Saw some very large carp.30 pounders. One was so large it scared the crap out of me. I guess 60pounds.NO had to have been 75plus,sucker looked five feet long. This was at the spillway at the back of Diascund feeder creek. Carp where all stacked up creating a ruckus trying to get to the other side. Gar in the citation range also. Carp and Gar are the only fish I don’t have a recognized citation. Need those to complete my Master Angler patch
