The fish were blowing up on top water in the massive weed flat. Had to find the edges and throw into the middle and work it out. Buzzbaits where the only thing to throw without getting full of weeds. Was also cloudy and I believe that also helped keeping the fish looking up

Tough day with few bites, until we switched to swim jigs and spinnerbaits to save some face.

We looked for rocks on points adjacent to bluegill beds in 14-16 FOW. I slowly dragged a 1/2oz stealth feider along the bottom with a 7'1 heavy KAGE jig rod and paused after feeling rocks to get bites. Larger isolated rocks produced bigger fish

A buddy and I fished a Tournament on this lake with no experience and found success. We fished docks early on in the morning wacky rigging, and then transitioned into deeper water of 10-12 feet at the weed edge and isolated rock piles using the drop shot method. With no expectations in place, it was an overall fun experience.
