Largemouth were setup on flats around sand spots and shallow wood. They were feeding on bluegills and baitfish roaming in shallow water on hard spots. The largemouth were near deeper water, but setup on shallow flats feeding actively during weather changes

Water conditions are poor due recent application of weed killer. Finesse baits on docks and seawalls produced well.

Bluegill spawn was in full effect. Day was a good day caught 16 largemouth ranging from 2.5 to 4 lbs. Largest was 20 3/4 inches and weighed 4 lbs and was caught on the yamatanuki in green pumpkin with blue flake. Caught 3 small northern pike as well. Fish were caught in 1-8 foot of water on points near bluegill beds. All the baits listed caught fish.

Water was pretty clean and clear, a bit of wind and chop when we hit the water at 5:00. Weeds are absolutely THICK. In 15' of water the weeds were breaking the surface. Air temp was sitting around 85 and water temp was hovering between 76 and 79 wherever we went during the evening. We got into fish pretty quick and picked up our initial limit by 6:30. We only managed to cull up 1lb with 3 other fish as the evening went on though. All but one of the fish I caught were on 110SR, and the one other was on a frog. In retrospect, we should have come back to the area we started catching fish in a LOT earlier. The jerkbait fish hit on a long pause every single time, but you could see the bass following the bait all the way up the boat. Top weight was a ~15lb bag with a 4 1/4lb kicker that got big bass as well. We pulled out with 9.6lbs and no money.

I was actually targeting pike or Muskie around shallow Lilly pad fields when this quality largie showed himself. There are multiple pad fields through the southern part of the lake. I was just targeting the edges and keeping the bait as shallow as possible. The water is very clear but tannic. This color Jerkbaits stands out but still stealthy! The fast action on this Bass X works well to send the bait. As far as the line goes I trust sunlime FC sniper more than any other Fluoro!

Had to fish Inside the weed line towards shore….this one was on the corner of a dock…on the other side of the lake you had to fish the weed line outside away from shore as it was deeper. All in 4-6 feet of water

Not really a dock but the wall in the yacht club always seems to hold something. This one was 17.75” and 3-12….pitched the wacky between two boats right on the wall and let it soak….
