Twin Lakes

Fished Twin last night 7/6/2012 from 6PM to 3AM. The back lake was the producer at the start with buzz baits and top water. A few 5+ Lbrs were caught there. Only issue was that you needed a boat small enough to fit under the bridge so I was outa luck on a 21' Ranger with the 225 HP on the back. We stayed in the main lake. My partner and I hit small 1lbrs through out the start of the event. About 1 an hour. Top water Spooks were getting blow ups but difficult to hook up. Black/Blue Flake Senkos were working. Once the bite died about 9PM it was extremely slow going till about 2AM. Directly out from the launch about 300' on that large flat in about 10 feet of water my partner started slamming fish. Picked up several in the last hour on the Senko's. The smallest 3lbs and the largest 5.89 Lbs. (Lunker Winner) I hit a good one with my Spook but lost it when my Braid untied. Fortunately the fish spit the Spook. I definitely have to switch to a polymer knot. The fish were very finicky as to the technique, style and presentation. My partner, more experienced then I out fished me by far. A very slow presentation was needed on the bottom. The Spook got the blow ups on a 3/1 pause snap retrieve but again hook ups were far and few between. It still wasn't enough to match the boats that fished the smaller lake. My partner placed 3rd overall out of about 9 boats. Simply fascinating how clear that water is. In pitch black with a head lamp you can make out the details of the weeds in 15' of water. Had my first good look at a Zebra Muscle infestation.
