A buddy and I hit the lake for the first time on Sunday. We got there a little after 5pm. We launched at schoolhouse and tried a little trolling just to the right and immediately lost some jigs and a crank. Didn't realize that there was so much under water bushes in there! Anyway, we headed straight across the lake and my buddy caught several bass and a cat using minnows. I finally caught one slot on a minnow in a cove. We set out the lights and waited. 2 crappie were picked up for the rest of the night. Water temp was 78 I think. It was a beautiful night and I saw two shooting stars. Very little catching done. Kind of a let down but an interesting experience.
