Tough in the weeds but if you’re patient, you’ll catch fish.

Fan casted areas that had older bass spawning beds with emergent vegetation. Also caught bass in the same area using a small popper and if wood was present, I would cast a zoom horny toad over and around those areas with some success. Fished in the annual Take a Vet Fishing event and everyone who participated had a great time. My first time as a boat captain and I thoroughly enjoyed being there.

Slower bite day. Was able to find double digit amounts of bass from drop shoting flats and steeper drop offs.

Used a lighter jig and trailer due to the scum covering the bottom. Also caught largemouth around wood in shores that had a covering of slop and duckweed mixed. Looks like the spawn has wrapped up and now the bluegill are taking over the nests.

Had just a few hours to fish. Picked up bites dragging a 1/2 ounce football jig along the weed edges. Fish still in all phases of the spawn with water temps between 66-68 degrees.

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!

Most bites were in 4-8’ of water. Finesse jigs and Neko rigs did the bulk of the damage today with a few drop shot fish mixed in. Rock bass were abundant and active, but a sure fire sign we were too shallow.

Most if not all the docks are in and the bass that aren’t on beds right now are hanging out near and next to docks

Cashed a check in our Monday nighter! Fish were mostly prespawn with some fish on beds. We caught our fish throwing swimjigs and neds when we saw cruisers. The Hayabusa Lil Schmitty is a baddddd little swimjig. Give it a try!

Slowly fished around and on top of rocky reefs. Also caught Largemouth along retaining walls and under docks in less than 3 feet of clear water.
