Largemouth BassTechniqueSoft Body Swimbaits (Small/Medium)SeasonSpring (Post-Spawn)StructureSubmerged VegetationA lot of submerged vegetation from the shore. I threw the sleeper to the east of the lake, let it sink for 4-5 seconds and slowly reel in. The rod and the line helps a lot as I can feel every vegetation that my sleeper hit. I can tell if it’s a bite or not. Definitely recommend the combo that I had since it’s very light and can fish with it for a long time. It is a bit on the expensive side though.

Daughter turned 8 and wanted to catch a bass for her birthday. Wacky senkos along the bullrush produced a few bass, largest was 15"

This is a very fun lake to go after the top water bite. Tons of fishable pads on east side of the lake! You won't catch tons but the ones you do make it worth while. The north east side is the juice! work the frog really fast, and pause for what seems like way to long in the open sections.. You can switch to a toad as well and run the parallel sides of the pads, and pick up fish that way to! I've throw the box of frogs at em here, and the best luck ive had is on the green and yellow full size live target!

Found a school of 2-3 pounders right outside weed edges in 9-10ft of water. Using the weighted beast hook allowed me to stay deeper but shallow enough to stay above the submerged grass.

Panfish / BluegillTechniqueBobbersSeasonSpring (Spawn)StructureSubmerged VegetationIt was overcast and noticed sunfish beds in sand. I found them with Mega Live (Humminbird). My friend let me use it for the day and we got it done. The sun came out and we saw everything. Want more information? Reelingwithrigo.com. Also @reelingwithrigo on Instagram, Facebook and Tiktok. Ham Lake is a home lake and dear to me. Not a lot of big fish but fun to relax.

Fish were stacked in the corner pockets of the lake around pad steams and floating algie in 2-3' of water. Swimming a jig through the cover got plenty of bites. Using a craw trailer helped keep the 1/4oz hit up high in the water. Fishing the same area again at sundown with a popper got a lot of action as well. Working the popper slowly around the visible shallow cover.
