Burr Oak Lake

Got out for a few hours this morning and made my first trip down the road to burr oak of the year. I truly have a love/hate relationship with that place so any day I can catch a few fish is a good day. Managed to crack a few dinks in about 4 hours of fishing before the wind really picked up. . .

Smashed several of those burr oak bruisers this morning! Not sure they all combined to weigh a pound. 😂 they were smashing the @berkleyfishing stank bug and after sending a couple into orbit I figured I would downsize to my BFS combo to really feel them tugging on the fight 😂 . .

Hit up burr oak this morning and got off to a fast start catching 3 fish within the first hour powershotting grass edges and they were absolutely choking it. Those fish were all dinks so I went looking for a bigger bite. Started to target main lake points in deeper water with the higher water temps and caught another dink. So I decided to pick up the big stick and go up shallow punching isolated lily pad clumps and managed to find a bigger bite. . .
