Went to Harveston for about an hour this morning, but didn't catch anything. The water was really clear, but there was mossy algae everwhere. It was coating the bottom which made dropshotting a pain because I'd pull in a big ol' wad of moss with every cast. Eventually I switched to a spinner bait, but I was still pulling in junk with that because it floating everywhere. I'd expect to see that with real cloudy, dirty water. But the water itself was really clear, so it was weird.
The bass were chasing each other all over the place. I'm not sure what had them so worked up, but they were pretty active ... but not hungry apparently. I couldn't get any of them to bite.
There were also a bunch of gold fish. Well, I call them gold fish. I'm not exactly sure what they all are. It looks like someone took fish out of their fish tank at home and threw them in the lake, and they, being faster than most, lived long enough to grow really big. Some look a lot like Koi with the white, orange, and black spots everywhere. Others just look like feeder fish, like those that you get from a carnival, except these are on steroids.
One had long fins and was all white and he just hung out close to the bank the whole time. He wasn't really spooked by me at all and just spent most of his time wandering back and forth checking things out.
