What a perfect morning for mid-summer. Nearly no wind, clouds, and fairly cool right up until the heavy fog started. But the fish were biting. for most. And the co-angler winner caught most of his fish including his lunker in under a foot of water. But the boater winner caught his fish in at least 15-20'.
The lake level is a problem. Not so much for fishing but finding workable ramps. Usually there are at least 10 good ramps around the lake. With only about 4 still working that is a lot of crowding. If this draught continues until the Sealy tournament the lake is going to be a real mess.
All fish 10" and up are keepers. Only the best 5 count.
