Got to the lake at 6:30 & fished til 4 pm when I saw those thunderstorms rolling in. Went solo today & did a lot of exploring. Fished a ton of reed beds with 0 luck. The reed beds just ain't what they used to be. They go way further out than they used to, and have a lot of dead shoots everywhere, so you are constantly getting hun up. Anyway, water temp was 90-95 in most areas of the lake. Did find quite a few fish in some old areas I hadn't fished this year so that was a happy surprise. Ended up wit 144 total...all sunfish...no bass. I did have one GIANT bass grab a 9 inch bluegill & jumped to let go right at the boat. Good thing I carry toilet paper in the boat It had to be 6-7 pounds easy. Also tried for rios on the rocks but had no luck. All fish caught on various color Gulp Alive minnows & all released to fight another day. Rained on me all the way from Buckees to the house... no chance of rain today...
