Well the reports on this lake don’t lie. Wacky rig is king! Was out mid day, first time on the lake and tried moving baits to no avail. Made the move super shallow into the reeds and found lots of fish, with good size mixed in. There are so many shallow flats and reeds on this lake, the key for me was looking at my electronics for reed points and edges next to steep drop offs. Areas I could be sitting in 15’ or more of water and casting up to reeds produced the most quality fish.

Wacky rig was king! Tried shallow moving baits early but not much luck. Started getting bit on the wacky and locked it in hand rest of day. Targeting shallow patches of reeds 2-3 ft and just letting it soak. Easily a 50+ fish day between the two of us with a handful of 17-19” Largies
