Fish are in various stages of the spawn depending on where you are on the lake. Lots of bucks on beds- As many of the big fish have pulled off. Find the bigger bites in the ditches, channels, and any structure off the bank that they might pull off to.

Ledges
Bass are chewing on ledge areas that have a transition of some kind. Missle Baits Quiver 6.5 on a 3/8 drop shot is one of my favorite ways to catch them and a technique the fish don’t see as often as other baits.
