    Got out in the kayak for a few hours in the Concord area. The fish were VERY tight lipped with the calm winds and bluebird skies. Managed to nab a few decent bass in the 2.5lb range cranking rock and gravel banks that were on the sunny side of the lake. If the crankbait wasn't dredging bottom, they wouldn't bite. I spotted many bass holding near bottom near bait schools unfortunately I never found any that were feeding. A little wind or cloud cover would have helped the bite all around.

    Spent a lot of time fishing shallow points, locating bait! Started fishing moving baits but switched to plastics! Ended up catching a few on NED rigs using either the Riot Baits Baton cut short to about 4" or Z-Man TRD on a Woo Tungsten 1/4oz Ned Head. All fish came at the first drop in about 8-10ft of water. Caught 3 doing this, 2 smallmouth and 1 Largemouth, all were around 14" in length.

    Find flats on the edges of the main channel that has grass. There is still grass and bass navigate to where there is grass left. Use a 6:8 reel and run the spinnerbait over the grass and let it fall when the grass ends. The bigger bass are on the bottom.
