Had good luck fishing from the public dock using a shallow diving crank bait, 1' to 2' was about right, any lower it kept getting caught in weeds

Independence FishingBronze AmbassadorSpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueShallow Diving Crankbaits (0-6')SeasonSummerStructureSubmerged VegetationFinding most fish along clumps of weeds in the shallower water. Bass appear to be moving to the shallows this time of year. They are hitting on crank baits, my favorite is the DT 3 (which they no longer make) but the DT 4 or the rapala brat 3 will do just fine. They are hitting on the pause so don't fish them too fast.
