Between my schedule and the weather I hadn’t made it out to Lake Zumbro this year. Sunday morning was the first of many outings to come. I was surprised at the vegetation on the east shoreline near the dam but it didn’t hurt the fishing. Since it was my first time this year I did a lot of running and gunning to old favorite spots. Early all my fish came on twitching plastic stick baits just under the surface. After the skiers came out, all my fish came on worms or creatures. I caught half of the fish pitching to the mats of weeds and letting the bait slide down the down current side, the other half came off wood. Ended up landing 8 decent bass and a few shorts. I lost a couple other decent fish in blowdowns trying to hoist them over a limb 
I was off the water by 10:30. The action was steady but spread out. Any day on the water is a great day!
