Stayed in the Red Bud Arm both days.  We fished many rockpiles and ledges between Gooseneck Point and Windmill Point.  When the wind blew crankbaits and spinnerbaits worked well.  Shad and chartreuse colors worked well.  When the wind died we switched to dartheads and jigs, brown/orange and brown/purple.  We also caught a couple on buzzbaits near Konocti.  About 20 bass each day,  with the largest 5 going 18-19 pounds each day.  Lots of three pounders.

Caught about a dozen fish from 1-2.5 pounds.  All three species were caught. Largemouth, smallmouth, and spotted.  We stayed around the narrows and fished tubes, jigs, and dartheads on main lake points.
