·Went fishing later then normal and arrived at 12:30pm. Started fishing around 1pm I guess. I went to a new area for me which is in the south end of the lake. It has a deep hole called the Pit which is 10 feet deep. (Deep for this lake) It has nice hydrilla edges around this pit as it leads into flats all around it. I of course had a RED lipless crankbait on and immediately hooked a nice fish that bit so faintly I didn't realize it was a fish. It got lose. A few casts later another thump and I had a decent 3lb (Jumped and saw it so it is an estimate) and It came off as well. lol. I boated a small 14" fish moments later.
I tried some adjacent flats and caught a couple bass in there. I caught one on a large white grub. THe grub is like 7 inches long and I was using it to see if it would catch larger fish. It didn't haha. In fact in an area I was using it I didn't get a bite. I switched to the now infamous RED lipless and immediately caught 2 fish.
Fished for a while and came back to the pit area and switched off of the red because the sky was clearing and the sun was popping out. So I tried a Ghost color which is gold on top and white on bottom but translucent. Neat color. (XCaliber XR50 bait) caught a nice 3lber. Looked spawned out or is a male? Moments later I caught this fat 5.1lb bass.

She is not spawned out so perhaps that 3lber was her male? Both came from the same area and both on a yo yo retrieve. Not a straight retrieve but an eratic jerking up and letting it fall down retrieve.
Caught a couple more and ended the day with 11 bass.
I am going to try tomorrow's tourney again. Hopefully I will catch fish like that tomorrow.
