Short report here:
Snuck in a few hours of fishing at a lake I have never fished before yesterday. Got on the water around 0900 under extremely overcast skies. Temperature was about 70-72 degrees and the wind was blowing about 10-15 mph constantly and had some significant gusting. Trolled almost the entire length of the pond without a bite on Jig, Senko, Horny Toads, Chatterbait, Spittin' Wa...the list goes on. Most of the lake was clogged with vegetation, but I went towards the spillway area and the vegetation dropped off, and I started getting some nice looking grass coming up with my jig. I'd wasted probably 90 minutes without a fish, so for fun I slapped on one of my Spro Aruku Shads in Chrome w/ a silver back. Managed to land 2 fish in the remaining 30 minutes I had.
Nothing Special but here is a picture of one of them - didn't even bother to weigh him, maybe 2lbs and a bit - at most.
