After striking out working shoreline cover, started working isolated offshore lily pad and submerged weed patches in 4' to 8' of water. Made short casts to points and cuts around patch with 5" single tail grub rigged on 1/16 to 1/8 oz weedless jig head (lighter when calm, heavier in wind) feeding line as grub fell keeping presentation as vertical as possible. Most bass would take bait within first few feet of fall. Caught a number of bass in a couple hours fishing, the best five ranging from 2.75 to 5.3 lbs. One of my best outings on Hermit using a non-typical, finesse presentation on a lake loaded with a variety of cover.

Great morning with lots of hot action catching crappie and other panfish on ultralight gear. Crappie were holding on small brush piles in 6 to 8 feet of water. Once brush pile was located, made cast beyond the pile and retrieved jigs over and through outer branches. As long as cast line allowed jig to come across brush, it was easy to catch 10 or more crappie from each pile. Other panfish and perch were caught by working jigs along and around weedbeds. It was a great day to be out with our grandson; enjoying the day and catching fish...
