What a difference a cold front makes! Two days above 87 degrees finally ending last night. White caps on the lake; bright sun. I couldn't control boat drift with a 10 lb anchor so precision casting in the pads near impossible

Okay, try a different area that has a rocky bottom and no pads. Cast my usual lures but only tail-nipping by fish. Didn't think I'd need small lures and had to improvise - but only in this one section of the lake.

In a different part of the lake, larger lures like this fat-body curl tail and clear-plastic Mojo Grub were attacked even by small fish:

Couldn't take the wind and after 41 fish were caught I called it a day. Maybe tomorrow...
