We stayed real close to the shore for the most part and saw many folks landing quality bass in the shallows only 20 feet across from us! When we asked what baits they were using, everybody said the same thing: plastic worms. I know nightcrawlers arent exactly the same, but should it of made that much of a difference? Me and my buds also took a few shots in deeper water about 40 yards from shore on trout using power bait and small plastics....no dice. I was hoping to have a better experience, because I love the layout of this lake and wanted to come back, but I don't know anymore, it was just that bad of a day out there. Let me know what you guys think, maybe with the right preparation next time we could make another trip worth while, Cheers!
