It's pretty frustrating. I got about the same number of bites today that I did yesterday and I had three or four that were really close (to measuring), but they wouldn't make it.
I caught a 4-pounder right off the bat (today), but then it was just dinks the rest of the way. I fished mostly deep with a Yamamoto jig and a dropshotted Roboworm out on the ledges. The keepers just weren't there today.
If I had it to do over again, I would have spent a lot more time in the shallows and in the bays. It seems like a lot of the quality fish are being caught shallow, which is pretty common on this lake.
It's a tough lake, and this is just one of those lessons – I needed a backup pattern and I never really had one.
