We launched Sunday morning at Holmes Bend . The lake is up and well into the the trees. Lake surf temp was about 79 when we launched and almost 84 in the "coves:" by late afternoon. We got toasted as it was HOT

The water clarity was clear and there was some debris but not too bad.

Not our normal lake so take it FWIW: Fishing was tough. Caught one bass about 3.5 lbs and lost one. threw a lot of different baits but didnt catch any or get any hits until we got to the plastic worm. Beleive if we had started with worm or jig early in the morning before the shade disppeared, we would have more success.
