    Report: Got to lake early about 7. I threw a small spinner and a craw tube most o the day and only have one bass ollowing the tube. I went into the tules and searched the area until a bunch o kayaking kids drove me out o there. I intensiied my search on the main lake close to Marmos. I threw a 3/8 oz white spinner with a single Colorado blade and varied the retrieve. I threw into the shadows and got a nice 3lb bass. That was the only one or the day. It was about 2pm when I got that one.

    Tips: I threw the spinner looking or a reactive strike and got bit. I let it sink to the bottom then ripped it with the irst sweep o the rod. I slow rolled it back to the boat keeping it as deep as possible every now and then letting it rip. The large single colorado blade created huge vibration.

    Report: Arrived on the Lake at 10:00. I threw 3/8 oz chartruse and white spinner but got nothing. I carolina rigged a blue swim in and still got nothing. I spoke to a ew guys who said the bass were in the weeds. They caught 6. Another guys in a blue tube boat hooked 6 but only landed 2. I rigged a craw colored tube and hit the weeds hard. I loated into the shallows and caught a nice 3+ pounder! I let the lake shortly ater I noticed my battery power down to zero.

    Tips: The bass are going shallow since the water temps are rising and its nearing the spawn. I "skipped" casted the tube into the weeds and under the trees. This really worked last all also.

    Tips: Jigs...and try to avoid the guy near the launch ramp...He had been drinking alot and gave us a 6 hour boat rental or $5, saving me $25...Couldn't complain!:) Good Luck out there this is a really nice little lake
