Targeting isolated vegetation in 4-6 feet of water with the Ozark rig. After multiple days of rain, the water is stained. Still seeing bass and bluegills in the shallows.

Lots of bass cruising the shallow grass in the NW corner, good quality fish, but the bite’s been slow. Picked this one off with a Jackhammer, casting right to the edge of the cattails in less than a foot of water.

The bad news first: there are zillions of pike--with the guidance against harvesting because of the 3M chemicals, you'll find them everywhere. But you can catch nice bass too--my PB largemouth was here 2 years ago. Both species crush the dropshot in the summer in 12 to 18 feet on a sharp dropoff and weed edge near the northwest corner of the lake. Slow rolling a chatterbait is a reliable method as well.
