      Report: Went out in my tube around 9. Caught two within the irst hour, it seemed to be a great day then the wind started blowing around 100 mph and I couldn't ish in the tube. I let at 12 with only 2 ish caught them in the tules. I lost a 5+ and it made me extremly mad. Fishing is much better on weekdays only one other bass isherman on the lake in the south end.
