Not gonna get far without that so after the back and forth I was on the lake just before 6. Head to my first spot and damn the lillies are extra packed this year. No gaps or open water for me to walk some decent magic. Gave it a go but it wasnt working. Decided to throw a chatterbait along the edge and good choice. About the third cast I'm almost at the boat so I look around and boom. Didnt even realize what happened and didnt set the hook. Fish hit hard enough to hook himself though so the skunk was off. Not big but put up a nice fight. Only had one other bite the rest of the day, on a frog that i managed to hook but couldnt pull out before he worked lose. Was gone by noon and probably won't be heading back for awhile. The water was hottttt and the dog days are settling in. Going to make myself try new lakes and get to know them so I can give myself a better chance at actually catching something. Thanks for the read and tight lines!

They just sprayed Cranberry with weed killer so wait a few weeks on there. When you do decide to hit there hit me up, I usually fish there and know quite a few spots.
