Took my son to lake K along with his 2 uncles.

Fished the beach side with no luck

Then went to a small area right near the main road (bridge) where water flows out of the lake.

This spot is no wider then 10ft.

My son and I both took many casts with no luck

I cast my 4in senko  out and let it rest while I go tie a lure on my other rod.

I come back and my rod is a 4th of the way in the water.

I set the hook and let my son reel in the 1lb LMB

I do the same again this time I cast out my rattle trap and end up getting tangled in my senk line.

After I quickly untangle my line, I reel in pretty fast when I get a yank ANOTHER small LMB...

I am so confused on what methods to fish this happened to me at the local school pond some would barely hit it while others would murder my bait.

Even a top water hit
