Largemouth BassTechniqueDrop ShotSeasonSummerStructureSubmerged VegetationFound fish deeper than I expected today. Fish were caught on weed transitions in 8-14' of water. Areas with cabbage were quite productive. Most fish were caught on drop-shot in the morning. Once the clouds moved in the fish became more scattered, so I switched to a ned rig to cover more ground.

Finesse fishing at the edge of structure was doing the trick! Love the new weedless drop shot hooks by Mustad.

The tried and true method for catching bass on this lake is trolling docks. Used the new Mustad weedless drop shot hook rigged wacky with a senko stick bait. Led to a good bite!

This lake can have a great frog bite during the summer months. Find the lily pads throughout this lake and Lake Olson(connected). The frog bite seems to be best during a long dry spell. The mornings and evenings seem to be the best but you can still catch them during the day. Once you run through the pads with a frog, you can pitch/flip baits into the pads for a few extra bites. Natural colors have been my go to on this lake. This is a fun little catch and release lake.

Troll the weed line making casts out into deeper water or up under nearby docks. Let it drop like a wacky rig. If it's not hit on the initial cast, slow drag and twitch it along the bottom. It can be fished and hopped all the way back to the boat.

In the morning there was a Ned bite on the inside of the cabbage beds. It stormed. After the storm the bite changed to a Jackhammer ran over the top of the cabbage weeds. Another round of rain, and the bite transitioned to wacky rigs on the outer edges of the cabbage beds.

Slowly hop the ned rig through the grass in 3-5'. The grass mats are easily visible. A chatterbait with a goat trailer worked over the grass caught a few, but the ned rig was more successful.
