Fish good green scum mixed with pads in the backs on arms and bays. Also fish pads closer to the main lake keep a flipping stick close by with a strike king punch bug and a 3/4oz tungsten weight. This pattern produced two 4lb fish between practice and a college bass tournament.
SpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueMedium Diving Crankbaits (7'-12')SeasonSummerStructureBouldersFishing around bluegill beds. Could see beds clear as day on mega 360, perspective mode live made them visible as well. Throwing cranks over the beds in about 6-10ft when wind was up. If wind died the Ned rig would out perform the crank. The beds would feel like dragging over gravel so if you are not feeling that keep moving around. Also make sure to spot out clusters on pontoon boats as they were often bluegill fisherman and fish in and around them. This pattern had me in first place after day 1 of a college bass tournament.

Fishing was super slow all day had no graphs so was covering water slow with swim jigs. Caught the nicer fish in the holes in the grass and near stumps. Air temp was 45 and the water was frigid.

Flipping and dragging a jig through cover/laydowns produced the most bites.
