Any secondary points with rocks in big coves you are bound to catch some fish, fish what I like to call a milk run and get about 8 points and just keep hitting them (at least 3 times each) and eventually you will find a school of fish on them and once you do you will catch them every cast on a small Ned rig, swimbait, or a crankbait.

Hello all, Its the time of the year where you can make a few different choices and atill have a great outcome. I start by hitting some main lake points and making my way into the pockets making sure i pay attention to all the lay downs and small changes like large rocks(many you can see right below the surface) and secondary points no matter the size(sometimes the smaller ones get fished a lot less). For me I enjoy fishing a jerkbait and combining it with my Garmin livescope system. If you fish the bank make sure you've your garmin positioned to see the fish being pulled off the bank. Its important to watch how the fiah are reacting and if they're swinging in frint of the bait to get a better look. If you see the fish trailing or pushing in front of the bait you need to take it away while ensuring you keep the rythme in time. I like smaller quick twitches with this setup and just nake sure you keep that rod tip down after hook it and be patient if its a bigger fish. Keep a follow up bait of your choice to catch those followers.

Find rocky banks, submerged rocks, submerged trees or brush piles. Fish the sunny areas in the early morning and points to find fish.

Check rocks, points, and walls in the sun in the morning. Fish can be found on submerged structure, brush piles, and submerged trees after the sun is up and after dark.

Great bait to use with a lot of versatility the smokin shad color I love because I can use it in any type of water condition. Works great on overcast condition but my favorite is when it is sunny because when the sun hits those blue sparkles the bass just eat it up. Just nice steady casting parallel with the rip rap.
