15.03 lb bass still the talk of the lake by
Joe Joslin
(7/11/2009)
Summer fishing is not often for the faint hearted as we have had several days near 100 degrees. The best hint is to get on the lake at first light and stay late and stay off the lake from 10 a.m. till 4 p.m. We do a lot of split schedules mid June through Aug.
