Wanted to give a little report. We started Saturday morning near seven coves, Marked tons of bait and fish in 35' of water. Hanging around 20-28'. We had a ton of floating vegetation that kept fouling up our lines. After a few mishaps, we tried jigging with no luck. Headed south around the island, dam, and couple of humps in the middle of the lake. We hardly marked any fish the rest of the day. Hit a few bass spots before heading in for lunch.

Went back out in the evening around 5 and headed north. Did not mark a single fish by the 1097 bridge or in the pond. no hits, nada all day.

Just as we were about to go to a new spot, BAM a triple hook up! got them all in, biggest was 3.8# and made a few more passes over that spot, picked up 3 more. Ended up with 6 total but never marked fish on any pass... Hellbender with an egg weight and pet spoon, Hellbender with with a small rattletrap, and a deep diving crank bait with pet spoon.

After 2 passes with no hits we tried a few other spots on the bridge with no luck, Called it a day.

It was nice to finally have some success, for the first time ever trying to hybrid fish, I was happy to end on a high note.
