Went to the lake yesterday during lunch. It was pretty quiet there. Plenty of people walking, but only a couple guys fishing.
The sky was clear and bright but the water was real dirty and hard to see through. I figured I'd need something that could catch the sun light and be visible in all that murk, so I tied on my spinner bait.
I worked my way starting from the restaurants towards the point. When I got to the big trees and saw the shadows they were casting on the water, I figured that would be a good place for a bass to hang out waiting for a meal to pass by.
I cast a couple times and brought the bait back through that shadow but didn't find anything there. However, when I cast my line about 15 feet off the bank above the shadow I did manage to hook up and proceeded to catch my first bass on a spinner bait.
As I was landing him, a woman and her little boy were passing by and I got a chance to show the little boy my 'big fish'. We talked about the fish and what he felt like, then he watched as I let him go. The mom said she had brought him fishing here before, but had not seen any fish this size. Maybe now that they've seen a 'big fish', they'll come back and try again.
