Great report, Slider. I was up on Thursday, but it took me a while to figure out what you already knew: they wanted plastics sitting on the bottom. Tubes, grubs, or Senkos, they had to settle to the bottom before we’d get bit. We only had a couple bites on faster, horizontal approaches. Seemed like a mix of bigger fish still recovering from the spawn and lots of tough, fat 14-15″ fish. I cannot recall ever catching so many bass under 16″ on ML, but it’s nice to see the lake is producing plenty of piggies fo rthe future.

My buddy did land a nice 21.75″ fish that almost got attacked by a 45″ muskie at the side of the boat. The muskie kept circling the smallie as we were trying to bring it to the net – where’s my camcorder!
