Dan,

Here's the Report from 8/17
Seeing that It was going to rain. I got to the ramp around 9:00
The guy at the ramp told me, they just put the ramp back in, Seems someone pulling a boat had hooked the ramp and pulled it out with the boat? He had to get a tractor to put it back in

So it's lightly raining, I tried the Big swim bait, then cranks threw a senko
Caught nothing the first hour, so I moved down the lake, Nothing there
Now it's pouring, I'm hitting the shallow pads, tried top water, nothing
Just kept moving along. I'm on Lotus and I started catching small bass on a Nemesis goby
But there all small fish, I tried up scaling to a senko and the bite slowed down.
And then I switched colors on the Fluke and it stopped raining
and they were slamming it, shallow or deep some places cast after cast but they were all small fish
So I started working backwards to past spots, Still slamming the Fluke and all small fish
After 30 or so fish I left Lotus
Went back to Macaday around the deep hole with the fluke but I used a nail weight to get in down
Nothing in the 5-7' of water. The bite was best right on the edge of the 9-12' of water
Now and then you could see the fish, There's a good amount of qty. fish stacked up there
Ended up with (4) very nice LM, One nice SM and 2 fish that would have kept

I did come up on a weed bed and saw one bass that looked to be 22-24"
he just slowly nosed dived into the deep water.

Thought we might go tomorrow but we are going to a different lake instead. Maybe next week...
