Today was a better day. It started out slow, but picked up throughout the day. Yesterday afternoon Gabe and I discovered a pattern throwing a jig in deep water, so we started out doing the same thing this morning. I caught a good keeper on my third cast. Alot of the bass we caught were coming out of deep water, some down to 50 feet. I guess this is pretty common in clear water lakes. We think we have clear water in the notheast, you can see a rock down 40 feet in this lake. We continued to expand on this pattern, catching quite a few fish, but they were mostly in the 1-2 lb range. I continued to throw the same berkley jig I was throwing the other day, and finally connected with a good one on a deep point; it weighed about 6 lbs. I got a picture of this one.

Not long after I caught this one, the wind started to pick up and we started throwing swim baits. Gabe lost one about 5 lbs and we caught a few more in the 3lb range. It was fun. All in all it was a good day. My best 5 probably weighed 16 today, and Gabe would have had about the same had he landed that 5 pounder. Again we left the lake with an incredible backdrop.
