Bluegill spawn was on. Find beds and fish the perimeters. Swim baits with flashy swim hooks and whackey worms. Match up bluegill colors. Shoutout to @simplistic fishing spots, had a laydown marked in a cove that I never knew was there. It was holding bluegill beds and we hit bass for an hour straight. We found other beds and all had bass sitting around them.

Used Giant TRD for a little something different and had good success with it, tossing right up against timber

SpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueTexas Rigs (Worming)SeasonSummerStructureStumpsLate May Bassmaster Elite tournament and lots of things were going on at Lake Fork. In practice I caught fish cranking offshore, on topwater walking baits shallow, jerkbaits on points, and flipping trees and docks. In the tournament, my most consistent bite was flipping trees and stumps in 2-8ft of water with a jig or big plastic worm. I also caught some key fish on docks. Fishing tree lines or isolated trees/stumps around points were key. The fish I was targeting seemed to be coming off the spawn and were pulling out into these areas on their way offshore to summertime areas. I was finding them in transition so new fish seemed to show up each day.
