Got up to check out Mantua since the treatment occurred. I went to the East side, hoping to get some top water action. Several other fishermen were encountered while I worked my way out to the point. I was throwing a black/white Hula Popper in the cove area and on the 4th cast I had a nice 10 incher. Returned him to the water and continued toward the point. Hitting every opening that wasn't occupied on the way, without another hit. I changed to a Bettle-spin with a 1/16 yellow tube jig to see if I could find the Bluegills. Got multiple strikes before finally landing a 5 inch bass. Several more were caught as I worked my way back to the car. I caught maybe 6 small ones and lost or missed many. I saw lots of small bass along the shallows that should be a lot more fun to catch in a couple years. I also tried a perch color Tiny Torpedo without any luck. The grass treatment has made an amazing different in the amount of grass that I saw, but it is still early, and it just may not have grown to the surface yet.
Good fishing to all. Hue
