Somers Lake has tons of great habitat for Largemouth. Surprisingly clear water conditions compared to the connected lake to the north. If wind is low, this opens up opportunity for sight fishing, particularly along the northern shoreline of this lake. Cast out a jerk bait on a moderate action rod on the front and back of weed lines. Regulate cadence of jerks and pauses to fine tune where the fish may react for a bite. The husky jerk is my favorite bait this time of year for three reasons: 1) it's an excellent bait to cover water and pick apart structure , 2) it's semi-forgiving when encountering emerging weeds - usually a twitch and you're clear , and 3) it'll trigger a reaction from a variety of species from pike to the overzealous crappie.
