Very good day to be outside on the water. Pretty much overcast & not too hot until mid afternoon. Drug Doc outa bed early & we fished from daybreak until 2:30. Split our time between bass & Sunfish about equal. Water temp was high 80s to high 90s depending on location. We caught exactly 100 sunfish & 28 bass. Doc caught a couple of real nice Rios off the rock piles as well. Sunfish were mostly in depths from 5-9 feet & all caught on 1" Gulp Alive minnows fished drop shot rig. Colors used today were Watermelon Pearl & Smelt. Bass were mostly caught around depths of 12-18 feet & caught on Swimbaits fished directly on the bottom. The biggest bass was over 5 lbs & we had some 4s & lots of 3s as well. We used both Storm wild eye shad & Tsunami swimbaits in the 3 " variety. Lots of fun to finally get Doc back out there after a rough spring...

It was GREAT to get out on the water today with Steve at Fayette after so long. We were blessed with an unseasonable mild morning with good cloud cover and mild breezes. This took the edge off what become a hot
afternoon. The parking lot at the lake said it all. Only 4 trailers !! Fishing and fellowship was tops ! So glad I got to go.

Good job guys. I hope to be back on the water in about 10 days.

Awesome summer day! Yall were On 'Em! 😎 Curious as to the water temps.

Great job Guys!

Thanks Chuck...
Tom...Hope u r having a great trip.
Flip...The water temp in most areas of the lake was around 88-90 degrees. At the discharge in the summer it is always around 100 degrees plus, and that area of the lake always is warmer. The main lake has been getting up to the mid 90s by late afternoon, but with all the cloud cover yesterday it didn't get that hot...

Great job guys! Beautiful fish!

Let me know when the high will be 75 and it will be cloudy and I will come back out of the cave. ;-)

Awesome post guys! Doc nice to see you again Vogey even put your pic in a special frame...nice!

Thanks Vogey! No we havent, but, we're getting back into our fishing trips. Hopefully this weekend I'll hook in to one.

Fantastic pictures and post. You guys are having a fantastic year so far. It's always a good thing when a fishing buddy is back in action.
