An Incredible Day on a New Lake

We decided to try a new lake we had never been to. We drove an hour and half to the lake. On the way it was raining a little, so I was hoping we would get lucky and not get too wet. When we arrived at the lake, it was windy and raining a little. By the time we got to our first spot it was down pouring. Kyle started with a fluke and Nick with a frog.  We decided to start on a deep bluff out of the wind and rain. We fished down the bank without any bites.  Then we decided to try the dam which the wind was blowing in on. When you go to a lake you have never been on, it is always a good idea to try the dam especially when the wind is blowing in on it. Both of the twins decided to try a crankbait on the dam. My choice was a spinnerbait. It did’t take long to hook up. On the first pass down the lake, we all hooked up. Being the first time on the lake, we decided to have another pass down the dam. For the next two hours, we caught some really nice fish with a couple being over 5 pounds. After you find fish with moving baits, it is always a good thing to go back through with a slower bait. All the big fish were caught on weightless Senkos. I felt bad the big fish kept hitting my baits. I even moved to the back of the boat, but it didn’t make a difference. The boys were throwing the same thing. For the last hour, I sat down and just watched the twins fish. It was an incredible day, and our best five were 19lbs.
