It was a tough bite on a HOT day at Lake Belva Deer. The storms from the week dirtied the water and we tried lots of different baits. But I was able to get them biting in the early afternoon on the Twilight colored Trick Shotz from Z-Man on a drop shot. The Vmc octopus hook kept them stuck! Belva Deer has a ton of flooded standing timber and we found them near larger clusters.

With the lake choked out in grass, I had to slow down and pick it apart. Flipping a Bronco Bug and Cleanup Craw into the scattered voids, pockets, and natural lanes mixing in some standing timber. By the end of the day I was able to put together a nice bag.
