You could find Bass from 1' to 10' on Big Stone in middle of June. Big blue gills were on beds all around. Lots of stringy spring grass all over the lake. There were some bass offshore but they seemed scattered and hard to find. The most consistent bite was on inside weedlines around rocky shorelines fished with chatterbaits when you had a little wind. Also, frogs or flipping around shallow wood or overhang trees produced consistent quality fish as well. Green pumpkin chatterbaits with 4.5" tactical minnows seemed deadly. As far as frogs, either traditional or popping frogs in browns & blacks were getting hammered.
