Fished during post-frontal conditions. Water level close to full crest and highly stained from recent rains. Could not locate fish under docks, which is unusual for patterning summer bass on this waterbody. Was able to find fish relating to (1) shallow rock piles/gravel transition in less than 3’, and (2) deep sea bed/rock piles in 6-8’. Marked fish along dredge cuts as well. Dragging a ned rig with intermittent hopping cadence was the most successful presentation.

It was a very toasty day out on the water that’s for sure, (90 +) and the water temps were like 89.8 so extremely hot water too. Not a deep lake at all and they really can’t go deep so the only true way to catch them is flipping docks. You can catch em on a bever and craws too but i found that flipping a ZMan Bang Stickz picked up a lot of bites. The water is absolutely chocolate milk so i was using black blue laminate. I was flipping a 1/4 WOO Tungsten NEVERCHIP around with a 4/0 VMC HD Ringed EWG. I was flipping with 30 lb suffix 832 braid to a 20 lb Suffix Advanced Fluorocarbon leader. The 1/4 oz was key because the docks are in 2 ft of water, you could even go lighter if you wanted. Caught like 14-15 lbs in a couple hours just picking them apart, tried a jig but they wouldn’t commit.
