Having never fished this lake before, so we didn't know what to expect other than a good day of fishing, not working.
We worked the break/drop off along several stretches using lipless cranks and deep diving cranks & bobbers w/ nighties & fatheads. Ended up with several white bass, a few nice bluegills, 3 legal LM & 2 legal Northerns. Only kept 2 bass & 2 BG.
Misted on us several times on a day of 2-3% chance of rain.
It was fun day on new water with some really nice fish caught.

Sunny 90°
Water: 71°
Was gone north until Tue evening while the carp & buffalo fish were up rolling near surface. The kid arrowed a few tub fulls. Bluegill males also got serious fanning out spawning sites in 2 or 3 feet of water. Time for kids with bobbers & worms.
No significant rain since 1st week of April, weeds downstream haven't grown enough yet to hold back water soo, lake is low for this time of year. And very clear. DNR filled in the blow hole at public ramp,,,again. Use your winch, not the throttle soo the next person doesn't get their trailer hung up. A rebuild of concrete ramp is back in the plan after no contractors interested when work went out for bids.
