  Reeds
Just wrapped up a tournament and took 1st place. The fish were utilizing offshore reed islands and isolated cabbage beds. Most of the bigger bites came flipping the AT Grassmaster Jig along the back-side of reed islands. Locating isolated grass mats that were blown into the reed beds was key to the bigger bites. Fish were schooling together as well, and you could often flip back into the same area and catch multiple fish. Swimming the thunder cricket through the isolated cabbage beds triggered bites as well. You needed to get the bait caught in the upper-third of the cabbage and rip it free to elicit reaction bites. Fish were short-striking the bait if you were not ripping it through the grass. Smallmouth were hanging on flats at along the tips of main lake points. Locating cabbage beds or islated rocks on these flats was key to finding the fish. The smallies were swiping at the thunder cricket and I could then follow up with the vision 110 to put them in the boat.

  Submerged Vegetation
If you fish in the spring, look for northern bays and also places where there is current. In the spring of 2016, I caught about 25 largemouth. It was every cast and I could see them. Magical moment. I would also fish the rocks but be careful. There are a lot of rocks in places if you don't pay attention to the buoys and your graph. **Notice in the picture of the vegetation. That is a clue without giving all the information away.
