Rodney,

That's one of my favorite lakes. Try Black Horny Toads, June Bug worms and white spinner baits. That should get you started. Did someone say "skinny dippers"? Hmmmmm

Well guys here is my report.............I SUCK!! Went were i caught 18+ lbs the week before and they didnt show up at all!! Waited without a keeper untill 11:30 and just had to make a move. Went to a residential canal that i had luck in February and caught 2 fish right off the bat...a 3lber and 1 3/4 lber. Bite turned off and with an hour to go i had run my trolling motor batts pretty much dead. Went back to my spot and bobbed around in the open water hydrilla and still no bites. Winning weight was 18+ lbs..not sure how they caught them but i know 2nd place was 16+ throwing 12 in worms in the hydrilla...about 300 yards down from where i waited all day for my fish to show up. Anyways ended up with 2 fish for 4.5 lbs. Terrible day. Sorry my report couldnt be better!! Maybe next time. Headed to Kissimmee next month!!
