I got out early and used my canoe with outriggers. It was a perfect morning and the water was surprisingly high considering the lack of rain recently. I thought I would be able to get something on topwater with the cloudiness, but nothing. I switched to a Subwart and nothing. I finally used a zoom speed craw on a Slider jig and got a decent LM maybe 14" or so. I alternated between crankbaits, chatterbaits and craws. I lost a better LM about 3lbs at the boat on a texas rigged craw. The morning stayed cloudy and I really thought I would do better.
I brought 2 heavy jigs to fish deep, but never ended up using them. There was a little breeze and I did not have electronics, so deep structure fishing was not in the cards. I ended up catching one small white perch on a little crankbait trolling back toward the dam. I caught a couple more small LM down at the dam. I decided to slow troll a dark chatterbait deep on the way back after lunch. I hooked a better fish, but never got a good hookset and the fish surfaced and threw the hook.
Overall, I really enjoyed being back out on the lake and caught a few. I like that there is parking and someone controlling access.

Did better than me this weekend. Saturday my GF and I met my sister and little nephew out there in the morning. The GF and I got rained on some while waiting. But I was catching perch. I paddled around with my nephew in my kayak and never caught another fish.
I went back early this morning. The perch were breaking the surface all over but they just weren't biting what I always get them on. I only caught two. It's getting to the point where I liked it better when the water clarity was a lot less. Used to be about 2ft, now it's more like 6ft.
Bunch of people out there but I didn't see them catching anything.
I did much better on the Potomac yesterday. Launched at Kephart, motored most of the way to the mouth of the creek where I caught a small crappie. My first time catching a crappie in the river. Got a typical smallie too before motoring up the river. I went up to Harrison Island before turning around. Caught a bunch of average smallies all over and some feisty sunfish. Caught one final smallie at the mouth of Goose Creek before I headed back up the creek.
