Fishing points and buoys in 12-15ft of water with submerged vegetation was a great way to land some largemouth on the hot summer days. I used bellow stick and gills to get the job done.

Scanned Rock point to find isolated clump of coon tail on top. Dropped down live scope and saw suspended crappies with bass chasing. I tried various baits but fish only wanted the crank. Weather was clear skies cool and breezy.
