The baits and tools listed are what I leaned on; however I have good information that on top of this bite sequence there was also a productive frog and swim jig bite in the shore line grasses, on top of the offshore submerged vegetation. This is a choice, much of the submerged grasses look like they are dirty, disturbed and not in the best of water and this is the case from Canada Line to Ticonderoga. If you can find cleaner grasses, there are and will be large mouth, but in these areas you are prone to catch more northern pike as well. Smallmouth fishing ended up being a more productive fishing approach for competition purposes.

Carolina rigged break walls and pilings. Best retrieve was slow and steady. I added chartreuse to the claws early morning or when it was cloudy. I used straight green pumpkin the rest of the time. My leader length was about 30”. Although they were eating a craw bait, a lot of the bass were spitting up perch.

in the Southern basin I caught most of my fish flipping outside weedlines in 7-10 ft of water. I used a spike-it pen to tip just the ends of flappers on the D-bomb and it seemed to help. The biggest fish, 4.25 lbs came on a drop shot in 4 ft but most fish shallow were 2lbs or less

Fishing on a flat, sunny day we had our best success ripping the tops of submerged milfoil and eel grass with chatterbaits and squarebills on flats in 3-5 ft of water. Also caught a few on lunker logs around docks and laydowns
