One thing I can honestly say, the weather was just awesome.

I got on the water around 10:30am and the bite was dead dead dead. Not one single tap for hours. Fished trees, humps, grass, points, submerged structure, intake, discharge, baffle dike, with no takers what so ever.

My wife called me around 2:30 to see how things were going. I told her that I felt like I was on Lake Austin fishing, I have not had one single tap as of yet, but I’m graphing fish everywhere I go. I also told her that I had eight rod and reels on the deck, plus I have cut and retied on several of the rods trying to find something that the fish want. Then around 3:00 or 3:30, the moon peaks over the eastern horizon, and the fish decided to come out and play.
I went back over to the dam area when I saw the moon up and began pitching the Yellow Magic top water bait up against the sun beating warm rocks and the bite went absolutely ballistic. Four pound bass were busting this thing like crazy. This went on all the way up to sun down. They were coming out of the water with the bait in their mouth and I had to wait a split second allowing them to fall back into the water before setting the hook. And I never missed a blow up. I ended up with sixteen blacks and one channel cat. Out of those sixteen bass, I did hook a couple of dinks, but for the most, it was good quality four pound fish that were fat and healthy looking.

So in the end, the day turned out to be okay aftyer all.
