August 22nd Fishing Report

[Riverwhy]

Got to the lake early Saturday but lightning kept us off the water until 10:30.   We saw a few whites feeding in the first cove and picked up three good whites and a short.  Anything shiny from spinner to crank would get an occasional bite.  We headed to a main lake point and I managed a 16" and a 19" largemouth on soft plastics.  We took a  pretty classic approach and threw up on the point and bounced the bait back into deep water.   We left the point and went back to white bass fishing by targeting windblown shallow points and flats.  We picked up a white at almost every stop but it was one fish here and one fish there.  None of the multiple white bite that I had hoped. (I'll wait until fall and hopefully find them bunched up at LOZ.)   We went back to the main lake point and I picked up another 16.5" largemouth.   I got tired of the endless stream of pleasure boaters coming around the point close enough that I could have cast in their boat so we headed home.  As you read this you might note that I am a poor lake fisherman when it come to fishing creature baits.  So, a more seasoned jig or rubber worm guy could probably of had much better results.
