Early in the morning the bass were chewing bluegill up shallow in 1-7 feet of water. As the sun got higher and the water warmed up the fish shut down. We switched to fishing thick cover and lily pads. We were instantly rewarded on the jig punching through pads. We then caught a few on the frog. The key was letting them eat the frog for at least 3 seconds before setting the hook. Often they would miss it and eat it again or not have the bait fully. Using 4 strand braid was also key. The 4 strand is a lot rougher and really cuts thorough vegetation. Texas rigs and wacky around the thick over worked well. Another rig that caught them good was a weightless Texas rigged senkos that I twitched over the pads and let fall into gaps in the pads. Hope this helps and good luck fishing.
