Hooked a 5 pounder on the 5 wt. It was a bit of a blast!
Went today. Caught a ton of fish but nothing bigger than 4lbs. I can't believe the numbers of 3-4lbers!
No Xrap hits but many smallies caught on a gold willow leafed white spinnerbait. They're really active around rocks.
Had a few cuttie followers too! Maybe I'll try a casting spoon next time.

I live on the lake and get out quite a bit at night after work and put alot of time in out there.. I find that 75% of my bass right now are being caught right in between docks and shoreline as they are nesting and smash anything that comes near them.. Had tons or 2-4lb fish but have had a fair share over 5. Fished today for two hours and caught 19! Half of those were only 1-2 lbs tho. Try docks this time of year you will have great luck!

Zeke the best I can say is that if you put the belly boat at the Govt launch, the area to the right of the launch (If you are looking out at the lake) is best. Float along and cast at the docks and maybe drag a wet fly about 10-15 feet from shore. Work your way along there continuing south. You'll see some markers for the skiing salom course. To the east of those is a good hump/flat that produces. Say maybe trolling a largish wet fly?
I have never done well on the other side of the launch but have only tried to twice.
