Fished it today with Bozzo21 and managed to scrape up a few. Began the morning combing the Tortilla flats area to no avail, just kept moving deeper.

Got our first fish swimming the dropshot rig along the weedline (about 38'), Lake Police 3" crosstail shad, purple. Its mouth was all torn up like it was munching an crawdads. I made myself switch to a jig because I was looking for better fish; I was convinced I could get a five...nope.

Went to the back cove (same side as launch ramp, and bookending the dam) and saw some life up shallow, mostly cruisers. So we decided to move to the other side of the lake where we generally do better on a shallow bite.

Because, based on our limited knowledge, we assumed the fish were keying on craws, we changed up our dropshot setups. Shortened the tag ends and pinned on a couple of those tiny little Mad Man craw tubes.

Dropshotted the deepest docks we could find, two casts, two fish, too bad we farmed em. A three and maybe a four, both quality fish.

Went back to the cross tail shad, dragged along the weedline, one more fish. Maybe a two pound bow. Once we started catching exotics we decided we had had enough.

Went back to the Marina, where the trout fishermen had basically blocked the entrance. Pretty funny actually...some family rented a pontoon boat but clearly had never been to the lake before. Because the trout guys were blocking the entrance (and exit) the guys in the pontoon boat just hung a right a cruised over the buoy line in the do not enter area. Of course the prop got caught on the line and they pulled the whole string around 20 yards. The guys on shore were screaming a waiving their arms trying to get the people to turn around but the people on the boat thought they were just saying "bon voyage" and so they just waived right back with stupid grins on their faces, probably thinking how friendly the people were at this new lake. Maybe you had to be there, but I was rolling.

Anyway, gonna try to night fish on Sat. though the teeth of the storm. Slammers, big worms? Who wants to give up the dope on the night bite (or any more info on the day bite for that matter)?

We are fishing from a green Skeeter if anyone would like to come by a say hello. I really appreciate all of the responses thus far, I know it is a small lake and that good spots are especially coveted. Happy New Year to all.
