Largemouth BassTechniqueDrop ShotSeasonSummerStructureLedgesKept getting nipped at by perch. There were tons of them all over the place. Struggled a bit finding bass over the weekend, ended up catching 6 as a group. We stuck to the north side of the lake and seemed to have the best luck in deeper ledges.

The water has been pretty high due to some rainstorms recently. This has made some of the offshore deep techniques difficult. Best fishing has been shallow.

The arashi glide as well as the Jerry Rago cha cha glide produced fish over rock piles. Definitely wasn't the best way to go about it because the day was really slow after livescope went down but this was the only way we were able to catch decent sized fish. Thrown on Cortland Line.
