Weather was warm the week prior and the water was high, maybe letting the weds grow higher in some spots, which threw us off a little from previous trips on this lake. The boys kept trying different spots. We tried reeds, only found 12-14 in bass.We found that flooded docks near a bridge with the jigs held the bigger bass- 15-17 inch.

Fished in a Slay Nation event today and had to change up my approached after conditions made my prefishing irrelevant. Spent the morning fishing Reed bed edges with deep drops and just couldn't find them...switched it up and head to the other side of the lake to get out of the morning wind. Fished the edge of Reed, cattail, and lilypad mixed beds in about 1'-5' of water with a Buzz baits and a YUM toad trailer. From 11am to 200pm caught about 60 fish casting the edges of theses mixed beds. Tons of smaller bass 12"-15" and was able to cull out a 5 fish bag of 83" with the largest being 18 3/4"....it was grind but a lot fun fishing a full day of topwater..
