Post spawn situation. Lots of gills and panfish up near the surface around grass mats and weed edges. Caught most on the frog but also sight fished up a cruiser and caught one on a buzzbait.

There was a tournament going on this day so many boats out on a small lake. Took the trolling motor through dense vegetation. Many bass hunting in the grass. Even more bass up shallow in the sand where the vegetation died off. However, these fish were cruising/on beds. I was working a weightless fluke through the grass, but no hits on that. Partner caught a couple on a weightless mb fat finesse work working it and jerking it through the grass. I caught two decent ones throwing my texas rigged TRD bugZ with a 3/16 flipping weight on the #1 ichikawa up into the shallow sand. I was able to sight fish where groups of them were and cast as close to the bank as I could. Hopped the texas in front of them and got two to bite. Fishing it on a 7'2 ML+ Expride and a Tatula 100. 30lb sufx 832 to 12lb Invizx but will be switching to japanese #1.5 braid, ligher leader, and a BFS spool soon.
