Submerged Vegetation
Used a chatterbait and swim jig on weed edges to locate fish. Found groups of larger fish schooled up in milfoil patches. Classic flipping baits worked well, with most fish coming on a stealth feider jig and a 3/8oz weighted tokyo rig with a craw tube trailer. Having multiple rigs at the ready was key to getting multiple bites.

Humps
Mid strolling around mid lake humps and spines produced large crappies (and pike and bass) on Carlos. Working the edges and drop offs with a 4" Sakamata shad worked well. Strolling the bait along the weed edge and dropoffs using forward facing sonar worked well. It was a calm day so it was easy to make very specific casts at fish.
