There was a lot of shallow matted grass and if you flipped a jig or Texas rig into it by the mats you would get bit and it would often be a big one.

My fishing partner and I fished 3 consecutive days out on Big Stone, we found really good quality fish pushed tight to shore, docks, shade, timber, and weed clumps found close to shore. We targeted them using moving baits and found great success with almost all of our fish being caught 2/3 days going over 3 pounds. 3 five pound + largemouth were caught. I was using a straight white war eagle spinner bait (silver willow blade with gold colorado blade) and as a trailer I used a combination of a white 4” moxi and a 4 inch zoom fluke (not a super fluke) in white ice. My fishing partner was throwing a chartreuse and white zman elite chatterbait with a gold blade. For a trailer he was using a 4.8 white and silver keitech style swimbait. We had a banger of a day when it was cloudy. This is a super fun fishery and the fish are built like tanks. Right away in the morning fish related to weed clumps up shallow more, and in the afternoon they were more likely to be tucked back in shade of trees and logs. Go get em!
