Largemouth BassTechniqueHard JerkbaitsSeasonSummerStructureSubmerged VegetationFound some in the deeper water (10'-15') off the vegetation line using square bills. Caught some, missed some. Definitely wanted more time to work the area I found them in.

A good chatterbait bite along outside weed edges. Find the edges near steeper drops. Schools of panfish will clue you in that you're in the right place. Had luck with a random stop start slow roll retrieve, getting hung up in the grass and popping free

Fished edges of visible weed lines and deeper weed lines(10-15ft) and caught a ton of bass and a few pike. Working the Dark Sleepers with a slow retrieve was the key!
SpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueFrogs/ToadsSeasonSummerStructureLily PadsWhen lakes give you lily pads, what do you do? You go frogging, of course! Following up on my previous visit, I came back with some fun frog gear to give it a go today. It paid off with exciting Michael Bay-esque explosions and blowups! Lost a few due to being impatient on the hook set, but it was still an outstanding day. Tons of nooks and crannies filled with lily pads and surface weeds here. In fact, I'd probably recommend a nice pitching/flipping rig as well for even more options. Enjoy the summer topwater!

The fish are relating to the deeper grass edges in 8-10FOW. Pitching a 4-5" creature bait worked best.

Fish was not too active in the early morning, but picked up an hour or two after sunrise. Water clarity was usually 1' or less in most places, but only opened up to 3' in other areas so I went with more white and chartreuse colors. I was getting absolutely no bites on the bladed jigs (chatter baits) until I switched over to slow rolling it. After that, the bites were on! Great back-to-back action. Downsizing to the Mini Max also seemed to have been helpful. There were a good number of areas with depth, so I swapped over to the the dropshot later and had a good time finding several schools within the 15' - 20' transitions. Many of them had a ton of fight! Some of the best fighting bass I've fished this year. Good length and sizes (well-fed).

Fishing deep grass lines and clumps in 10-15’ produced good numbers and decent size. Bites came both on the fall and during hops. Make sure to slow down and pick apart each section of grass you come across as fish seemed to get grouped up as the sun got higher.
