Had a good day on the water today and last week as well. Did not get to the lake till about 10:00 and there was almost no where to park. Guess I'm not the only one with week days off. Had a good mix of sun and clouds. Winds were blowing steady from the SW with gusts near 20 mph. The wind was a challenge but it definitely helped the fishing especially since this lake is so clear. Did most my damage with the jerkbait while the wife worked the senko with good success. Fish were very active in the north east part of the lake that was getting pounded by wind but the wife had enough wind so we mover to the south east corner to get out of it. Had to work a littler harder and abandon the jerkbait for a senko and a tube. Saw several beds with a few bass on them. Never been much of a bed fisherman but decided to give one a try. It was at the end of a dock we were fishing. Saw a small fish on it. Dropped a tube in the middle of the nest and he picked it up and started swimming away. Little bigger that I thought about 13-14 inches by clearly a skinny little male. That was enough bed fishing for one day back to grinding it out. All in all good day. Last week was very similar. Caught some big fish. Several right at 3 lbs and a 6lb 3oz. Giant. Also saw another one over 4 just laying on her side on the bottom in about 10 ft of water thought it was dead so I drug a jig by and bumped it and it uprighted and slowly swam off. I guess females will lay and rest on the bottom to recover from spawning from what I understand.
