We have been catching a ton of Largemouth fishing around brushpiles in 8-10ft of water. Majority are done spawning and starting to make their way out to deeper water where the shad has already made it.

The fish appear to be transitioning from creeks to bigger water. With that in mind, I started running parallel with the shallower channel ledges (+/- 20’ of depth) near creek mouths. The water was very stained and when I switched to the albino trailer, I landed 3 keepers in about 15 minutes. Kentucky Lake bass love scrounger heads!

The big striper have moved out to the river channel and can be found anywhere from 20ft and beyond. Vertical jigging a jenko spoon and tremor head has been the ticket.
