Morning started off slowly catching a few short bass on finesse baits on weed edges. The bite picked up late morning when some cloud cover worked its way in. Working drop offs in 14-19 feet of water with strike king jigs with rage craw or structure bug trailers worked best. Strike king series 5 crankbait and red eye shad also produced a few fish. Had a large musky grab a nice smallmouth my fishing partner was reeling in until it snapped the line. He also raised a larger musky to the boat side on a football jig, it followed a few figure 8’s before getting spooked.
