Matted Grass
Late summer on Lake Minnetonka can be a great time to find matted vegetation. Find milfoil that has grown up to the surface and created a canopy. Typically this takes at least a 1 ounce weight to punch through. Choose a weight heavy enough that it gets through at least 75% of the time. Make sure you have a 7' 4" or longer rod, 50lb+ braided line and a stout hook. My set up is a 7' 4" Extra heavy rod, a HD reel with 50lb braid, a 1.5oz tungsten weight (pegged with bobber stop), a 5/0 owner jungle flipping hook with a beaver or creature style bait like the Reaction Innovations beaver

Ned Rigs
Structure
Submerged Vegetation
Once the largemouth have finished spawning and have moved out of the shallows out to the weedlines, they can be caught on ned rigs. The Outkast Tackle perfect ned head is awesome paired up with z-man finesse TRD in various colors. Keep this setup light around 3/16th to 1/8oz for best results. Spinning rods with 10lb braid to 10lb fluorocarbon seem to work best.
