Brush Piles

Look for brush piles on main lake points. Position the boat with the nose in to the wind and scan the brush piles using your FFS to locate the bass. Position the boat a little less that a full cast from the brush piles using as you will want to cast past it and bring your bait to the brush. Once you make contact with the brush, work your bait nice and slow. Alternate between the shakey head and a Texas rig. Most brush will give up about 3 fish before you need to move. Don’t forget to check back on the brush you catch your fish on to get a good rotation as they will load back up.

Points
Flat rocky point off the main lake in about 3 feet of water. It was a slow morning but if you're methodical and patient, it'll pay off in the end.

Boulders
Rock piles in 35 feet of water. Few bounces over the boulders and he crushed it on the hop. They've been killing the finesse jigs when nothing else works.

Flooded Brush
Pulling a jig slowly through brush, giving it a good hop/pop once you come over a branch. Patience is key. Some days they want the smaller presentations, other days they don't. It's been working all summer for me so far.

Went fishing off my dock near Yellowjacket one evening and caught my new personal best (7 lbs). Caught it using a weighted Texas rigged senko.

Went fishing for a little bit around midday caught one bass on a Texas rig senko under some docks near Yellowjacket. Then caught another near Holiday Park at a point. Found a hole about 40ft deep, but didn't have enough time to fish it.

Most fish have moved to deeper water, but I managed to pull a few out pitching a fitness jig around laydowns and slowly working it back to the bank.

As temps warm, we're finding bass tucked up in any shady structure they can find. Near points, close to drop offs, or on structure in the deeper holes. Finesse jigs work well this time of year, as does a larger Texas rig or even Carolina rig for the deeper spots.

The bite was slow this afternoon, got a few bits on a weightless fluke, finally switched to the wacky rig and got 1 decent fish under a laydown.

Fish are moving into pre-summer pattern but are still on points and humps. The 90 boat field as a whole, struggled. There are still fish chasing herring, but it's hit and miss and I think the warm up has finally done enough to start moving the fish off. I caught fish on a crankbait, a fluke, and a spook, in that order.

Points and patience. Lots of twitching and pausing. Lots of follows. Stick with it, and they’ll eat. Water has cooled a little bit, morning bite is crucial to jump on them, then patiently work on upgrades.
