      Relatively clear water. Water lines shown on map are not current state. Lake was about 1/2 full when aerials were taken. Lots of healthy fish.

      Construction. When it came time to hold water, they let the stock ponds become flooded. Gave the lake a 5yr head start. That would make this the 9th ur of production ...more I think. About at its peak sizewis

      @ChanceHuiet Yeah I saw that "egg pouch" after I posted it. Thanks for the correction. That lake site had many holding ponds constructed in the basin. ...more Fish were raised for stocking during its 5 yr

I am certain to make mistakes, as I am eminently human. If I misjudge your fish, my advance apology. Tight lines everyone!

  5. Details: Largemouth Bass with a Bare white crappie jig, ~ 1/8 oz.

    When she bass gets lockjaw on the ol' bed and all your "tried & true methods" have failed, try landing this in the bed's center & leave ...more it. Absolutely no movement. Wait her out. Eventually she will "take out the trash" & drop it at the beds edge. It may take several attempts to "hookup" but this really works. Voice of experience!

    1. Ben_Sanford 0
      @jeremy5567 Yeah me to, especially in the heat of Summer. Roll it slow near deep cover. Bass, bream, crappie, cat.... Never know what you'll get.
    2. jeremy5567 0
      I've put a spinner on a jig head like this and caught a bunch of bass and sunfish

      @MulletHead the description cuts off
    4. Ben_Sanford 0
      Just the jig head. You'll think the hook is too small but if it's sharp it will do the job.
    5. MusicCityBass 0
      @garrettjweiss just the head

So when they didn't hit, I slowed down some more n BAM! These 2 were enough to earn $100 gift card and 50# Digital Scale in small Tourney. Should've seen the 1 lip hooked got away!
