Fished Beaver from 1 to 3:30 this afternoon. Not many people fishing. Fished the shoreline pads and docks using a weedless T-rigged curly tail worm (whitish-blue) on a finesse hook (no weight). I'd cast into the lillypads and run it along the surface to the edge and then let it drop. Had a number of strikes, but nothing big enough to swallow the worm down to the hook that was near the nose. I'd let some take it down for a few counts hoping that they'd gobble a little more to hook up, but never did hook one up. Even a decent sized dink that slammed it didn't hook up. That is ok as I was having fun and not getting stuck in the weeds. Also tried throwing a 4" pumpkinseed senko rigged the same way. Had a nice strike on that in a little deeper water that I missed and then another a little farther up the shore which I hooked. It was a stocker RBT. The only fish landed for the day. Good time on the water. Everyone I talked to hadn't been catching much. Noticed the barometric pressure was dropping while I was out there and was pretty low to begin with. Didn't get water temp, but was definitely in the mid to high 60s. The algea blooms are still going strong.

I noticed the algae in my lake blooming too..
Nice job getting out there- I use that same colored senko too!
I missed several bigger ones in the 3/4 pound range last night, so frustrating watching them inhale it but jerking it out there mouths too soon..
Still learning.
Take care!

Jens, do you notice if the algae blooms effect the bite at all? In some places it was so heavy that my line would leave a wake as I drug my worm through it. Nasty looking stuff.
Oh, and forgot to mention the cotton was starting to get thick on the water too. Amazing how well it gathers on the fishing line.
