I had the day off today. Reminded me of the good old day of college and weekday fishing. Got a later start than I had hoped to but it was ok. Got to Calero at 10:45. It was warm and fairly calm with a reasonable number of jet and water skiiers. I just started at the ramp and fished my way around almost the entire lake. Kind of a long day for the play by play but the bite was pretty decent and good for the quality fish. The final count was 5 fish and I caught them on a little bit of everything. Two fish on 5" big hammer swimbaits. One about 3lbs and one about 2 and a half.
Two fish on a brown/purple jig with a christmas tree yamamoto twin tail trailer that I was using as the weight with a 6" robo worm drop shotting above it. One fish was around 3lbs and the other was (I'll be honest) 4lbs 15oz.
The little guy of the day was on the drop shot worm, pound and 1/4 or so.
Also caught a nice fish maybe a little over 3lbs on a big fat free shad crankbait. The fish hit with about 4 feet of line out.
Best 5 were around 16lbs or so which was good quality. It was also interesting that almost every fish I caught had been caught before.

I missed at least 5 bites on the swimbait. It was driving me nuts but they just weren't eating it all the way. The first fish I caught hit it, I took at least 10 fast cranks before I finally set the hook. The other fish (in the pic below) I saw come up and break the surface chasing shad. I threw out a long cast and let it sink. It only got about 10 feet before it got whacked. That was cool.

The fish on the jig and worm were on rocky banks with sparse weeds. I missed one that I think hit the worm, but caught the other three bites I had. One of the fish that hit on the jig I caught off a 5mph bouy in about 25 feet of water. That was interesting. The 4-15 came in about 12 feet of water.

Couldn't get anything going on the frog. The bite in general was better in the afternoon when the breeze finally picked up.

Here's some pics
