Decided to take a day off and hit the lake today. Got there about 7 and fished until 3:00. Put 24 bass in the boat and lost or missed another dozen or so. It was a really nice day to be out there. Wind blew but not too bad, kept the heat down and even felt cool at times. Water temp when I got there was 82 and when I left it showed 84.6. Summer is here. This is the time of year I like to fish ledges, edges and drops. That is what I focused on and stay with the whole day. Depth was from 10 to about 22 foot where I caught most of my fish. Burning big cranks or drowning a shakey were the two baits that worked for me today. Best on the crank was a 4/9 that stopped it dead. emoEek I love it when a good size bass crushes a crank. Felt bigger then it was. Best one on the shakey was 4/12. I guess I needed Mr. Big Fish Derek to be there to get me a big kicker in the boat. emoBooHoo Even with that said I had a 3/7, 3/1 and a 2/15 to round out my top five. Not too bad for a fun trip, best five were 18 pounds and 12 ounces. Had a bunch of two pounders again. Looking forward to this weekend&#39;s CFF, hope we get a good crowd. emoToast Jmax<br /><br />Here are the two fours....<br />
