With extended high temps and little rain bass are going to be lethargic and looking for an easy meal. I targeted laydowns with a shakey head and found success. Drag the worm along the bottom, with an occasional twitch. Moving the bait slowly is key here.

HuntertappoutdoorsBronze AmbassadorSpeciesSpotted BassTechniqueHard Topwater (Walking)SeasonSummerStructureBrush PilesLake Lanier is covered in brush in the 20 - 25 ft range key locations are under browns bridge. Key colors chrome and bone . The setup . Tatula elite 7.1 makes casting a breeze allows you to make far cast with little effort. 7.1 speed is plenty fast for walking the shower blow . The line , braid will be a big factor using it you keep the big spots pinned . It will also aid if you get ran in the brush . The Rod I like a 7 ft med hvy with load in the tip with back bone the soft tip works with the braid to get great hook penetration.
