      Report: Fished beore sunrise, o the bank and on a small dock. I threw a Terminator Buzz bait w/a chartruse and white skirt. The weed line was pretty thick and I casted just along the outside. On the 3rd cast I got a nice 2.5 bass. As soon as the sun hit the water I slowed down using a craw tube. I saw some dinks ollowing but no bites. I saw a ew ish being caught on the banks opposite rom me. I let at 8:30 am. This was my irst trip to the lake,(actually just passin' thru) I will be back or sure when I have more time. Looks like a great ishery.
