Big Ken and I teamed up to do the Bucks Derby. We left Friday morning to check out the lake and do some pre fishing. Started fishing at 11:00 am at Rainbow Point. We ended up finding a bunch of dink kokes there so we moved to the Dam then the Marina area. Dinks was everywhere. For the day we got two macks 14 and 14 1/2 inches. We got one rainbow 15 1/2 inches. The kokes where 12,10,8,7, and 7 inches. Best set up was a GVF crystal watermellon spinbug and a RMT watermellon dodger. Best depth was 35 ft. Speed was 1.2 mph, Herring for the corn. Short set backs.
