On 8/22/2021 it was sunny, 78 (cool front relative to the hot previous week,) and ranged from dead calm in the morning. My buddy caught a bunch of 3lb bass to win our little club tournament. He was throwing an Outkast Chicken Jig, casting to submerged weeds, milfoil, coontail. A stop and go retrieve was what he suggested, let it fall to the bottom then reel a couple turns, drop to the bottom and repeat as soon as it hits bottom - watch the line. In the calm conditions I was able to catch keepers on a drop shot, but the big heavy hair jig caught more of the quality bass. After the day got windier I was able to somewhat replicate his hair jig technique with a white spinner bait, getting bites while I stopped cranking and let the spinner bait fall. Putting the boat in 15-20ft of water within casting range of the offshore humps and submerged weeds should still be the place to catch the bass here for some time. You'll may have some toothy pike or even a muskie getting involved too.
