A few feet out in some underwater vegetation. Was using a 6th sense Ozzie 4k bluegill trailer. Simple casting rod and reel combo.

Had a good morning rolling bluegill spinnerbaits around flats and shallows. Lilly pads were just starting to top out and working through the stems or ticking the tops of the low milfoil made for some good bites.

Swam a swim jig through vegetation and pads, which yielded a few decent fish.
- SpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueSoft JerkbaitsSeasonSpring (Pre-Spawn)StructureBaitfish
Fish were pushed up on shallow mud flats and future lillypad fields. Some working on bedding, many roaming in and around huge schools of mixed panfish. Wacky stick baits managed to entice a few, but a fluke style worked better to pull in active fish and draw interest from more passive ones. Also managed a few post spawners and bonus pike in nearby areas with fresh weed growth on shallow cranks and hard jerkbaits.

Caught this big guy on a 1/2 ounce 2 and 3/4 inches dark sleeper mutsuhoru color and was just hopping it on the grass and through it making it look like it was injured baitfiah or a baitfish fleeing away
- SpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueTexas Rigs (Pitch/Flip)SeasonSpring (Post-Spawn)StructureSubmerged Vegetation
Millfoil is filling in and slop is thick so bring your big sticks. Picking at the weed edges and flipping into holes in the slop pulled out a few fish, but had the best luck looking for schools of bluegill that were sunning a few feet into open water outside of weed edges; bass were hanging out below them. Some could be coaxed up to hit a stop and go topwater, but dropping a texas rig (either worm or creature, both worked) through the bluegill swarm and into the bass's face was more repeatable.
