Largemouth BassTechniqueSoft JerkbaitsSeasonSummerStructureBaitfishWent out for walleye and crappie, ended up finding massive schools of bait and bass corralling them. Fish weren’t biting topwater but anything flashy and subsurface was hit. Crankbait, spinner bait, and both hard and soft jerkbaits got hit. When you find schools of bait pitch structure in its path as the bass wait in ambush. Got 3 of a tree that was 10 ft from a main point on a crank fluke and spinnerbait. When the fish school larger and louder is key!

Went out after a thunderstorm and fished a submerged rock pile. Just made a decent cast over it and reeled it back over the rock pile. Nothing big just caught numbers.
SpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueSpinnerbaitsSeasonSummerStructureLily PadsWent out in the evening. Fish were chasing bait everywhere it seemed like. Most came just waiting and throwing a spinner bait right into them as they blew up on the surface. If not that a jig/minnow. Also grabbed a few on a white senko wacky rigged. Just hammered them for a few hours 💪🏼

The spotted bass could be seen chasing shad in numerous locations on the lake. Find the schools of shad and throw a topwater bait like a spook or other walking type bait in a chad color. A soft body and hard body jerk bait in white also worked well. The spotted bass were found chasing shad near drop offs and the largemouth were chasing them close to shore and in the middle of coves in submerged vegetation.

With the recent derecho that hit the trail on the north shore has been inaccessible. Bluegills have been plentiful along the dam to the spillway. Stripers have also been abundant in the evening with lots of action on the surface

Slow meandering retrieve with occasional pauses along lily pad edges drew the most followers occasionally burning or sharp twitch of the gantarel tends to trigger the most bites.
