I managed to get out on the water around 1, with that hot sun I targeted shade pockets that had a good amount of bass holding within. Plenty of little ones tried to take the jig but never committed. Then i moved around a point where the main lake met a creek point and started to fan cast this cover. First cast was shallow and I started the same retrieve as always, medium slow with a slight pause as the water got deeper. I just crossed over the shallow point and started my pause on the deeper water when this monster hit. Ended up fighting and being dragged around for 10 minutes. Finally got it near the boat and lost it. When I released her back into the water she swam away strong, figured she was feeding on baby bass and crappie moving over that point. Who knew that flatheads ate swim jigs!

While flipping at timber with a jig I had set up a crappie rig to catch whatever ended up wanting to pick up a minnow. In about 6 ft of water and 5ft away from a downed tree this bass took it. Got a few more on this pattern and some crappie. Key was adjusting the float every once in a while.

Fished from shore targeting drop off points and what structure could be seen. Most bass were either caught 30 yards out or right next to shore. When the senko bounced on rocks it usually got picked up. Once the line started to move I gave the fish about 3 seconds to eat then a strong but not extreme hook set. I found dragging up and letting sit would get crushed the most. While there were tons of blow ups from bass I moved on, I usually do not have luck with anything other than shad presentations on schooling bass here. Find one of the many walking and fishing trails and try out a Texas rigged worm.
