What's up folks!
We've got another tourney video on another lake, that I have no clue how to fish haha. This lake is amongst many popular lakes, however, is a bit off the beaten path. It's essentially a bowl with ledges near the bank and a bowl style center with scattered brush piles (So they say, I never found any).
t was a warm one! Main water temps ranged from 83-88 throughout the day. Late afternoon before we received weather water temps around 90 up shallow! My transducer does sit funny (sorda in direct sunlight) so it could be a bit off here and there but it’s a good indicator the waters still warm lol.
I did find small structure that seemed to be holding fish as well as a sunken boat, but had 0 luck getting bit on them. I mainly focused on docks as well as Deeper grass areas. Towards the end of the day I missed a few under a section of lily pads, but I believe they were gar as one had surfaced right after biting a brush hog in half..
Around the banks you can find grass and lily pads, some in 3-4ft some in 6ft plus. The weekend prior I did not film, however, caught numerous bass in the 6ft range on a senko. The fish I found seem to be holding near grass rather than anything else.. Unfortunately, this same pattern did not hold out this past Saturday.
All in all, it was a tough day, but it was good. It's always good to get out on the water and to enjoy nature. It's the simple things, right?
Thank you all so much for watching and I hope to see you again on the next one!
