Slow bite but you could catch them . Best fish came early on chug bugs but as it got later in the morning you had to resort to the wacky rig and even a carolina rigged lizard. You had to be around hydrilla for the more consistent bite. BE patient as the biote is slow, but you can put together a limit in a span of a few hours.

We caught a lot of smaller fish with the bigger ones coming on a wacky rigged Senko 5" but the bites were far and few in between. We caught fish pretty steady on a shakey head rigged 4" Senko with lighter line. Fished the haygrass in shallower water. The fish were on isolated patches and on the outside edge. Pic is of my daughter who went with me.

Rig your Senko weightless and be sure to make the rig to where the top part of the hook is concealed in the Senko so it does not hang up in the grass. Fish were all on the inside edge of the hay grass and hydrilla. Dead stick it once you get to the inside edge of the grass. If the perch are not driving you crazy you are in the wrong spot.

Wind-blown points ripping the traps through the outside edge of the hydrilla. It was a very windy day. I caught about 20 fish. They were eating the traps very well.

Blue bird skies and 90 water temps made for a tough bite. All my better fish came on a shakey head with a 5" Yamamoto Kut tail in green pumpkin black flake. The key for me was having the Curado DC, which allowed me to throw a very light rig easily. I used to have to fish this with a spinning reel, but now that I have the DC's, you can throw just about anything, whether it be light or heavy, windy or dead. That DC is the absolute best reel I have ever owned. Highly recommend one, if you have not tried one yet. Sorry for no fish picture, but these 2 trees were so pretty I had to use them. Get outdoors and fish.
