Wind was brutal, but found some calmer areas. Targeted weed line edges near deeper water and structure with finesse setups.
SpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueTexas Rigs (Pitch/Flip)SeasonSummerStructureDocksWe found the bass good up shallow early in the day and as the sun got higher we progressively found the fish deeper. Caught a few good bass with the biggest right under 4 pounds.

Outing was on 6/7/2025. Sunny calm morning on Tonka. Water temps were in the upper 60's to low 70's. Mostly fished the west side of the lake. Sunfish were up shallows, so tried to stick shallow. Caught some frog fish up shallow around panfish and slop. Also had good luck around docks with senkos in pumpkinseed color with chartruese highlight tip. No bigguns, but plenty of action.
