2-Day club tournament as a co-angler and we threw everything in the book at them. I caught every fish on a weightless Texas Rigged 6" Yum Dinger, and the color did not seem to matter. Pitched it into sparse emergent vegetation near any isolated flooded Buckbrush.

Water temps were warming up to 70 degrees in the afternoon. Visibility was less than 2 feet and sunny. Put this chop block near the beds and you will get bit!

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!
