It was very windy and the day started pretty cold. Fishing wasn’t any better very slow. The bass seemed to be spread out and catches seemed random. Managed to catch a few in one of the channels and then finished the day catching my two largest in a flat with submerged vegetation. Caught a handful of pike as well.

In the summer these fish hang tight to vegetation and hide to ambush prey. The Main forage on this lake is shad. I recommend slow retrieving a swim bait in or across the grass.
