Spent several days with the family on Lake Irene in early August. Caught bluegill and pumpkinseeds one after another while bobber fishing anywhere in the lake. They were in weeds, on weed lines, and as shallow as a foot of water. Bigger gills 8-9" could be found here and there but they were all over in the thick weeds on the mid-lake hump. It's the obvious spot so there were always boats on it. A small white jig head or hair jig tipped with a wax worm fished 2-3 feet off the bottom under a slip bobber was the preferred bait for the bigger fish. Irene has zebra mussels and the water clarity was around 10' with weed lines around 12-15'. Weeds are thick all around the lake, lots of coon tail... bullrushes are along most of the shoreline as well. Fun times!
