Had the chance to hit ML on Thursday with my dad and cousin. The weather was perfect, sunny, warm, and almost no wind. This was my first time on the lake with my boat and I have no go to spots for fishing in the summer so we were going to be winging it a bit. We also were just doing a day trip up and back which meant we would only be able to fish during the middle of the day.
We launched at liberty and had a spot that we wanted to try near there that we saw on the map chip but when we got there it had around 15 boats sitting on it and we didn’t want to join the group. After looking at the map again we picked another point and headed to that, when we got to this one no boats.
We finally started fishing and it took a while but we finally had a fish in the boat, it was about 12″ . There were fish there so we worked the area a little longer but nothing else was interested so we moved to the next spot. We continued to move around looking for active fish and also were constantly changing our presentation until we started to get on fish. Finally ended up rigging live bait slow on the deep edges to get the fish to hit. We ended the day with 8 over 23″ with about 20-25 fish caught before we pulled out around 4, biggest was 27.5″. Pictures are my dad’s and my double, my 27.5″ and my cousins 23″.
