The bass were feeding heavily on bluegill up shallow around bluegill beds. The wacky produced around the beds well but the jig produced a lot bigger bites. I threw a few swim-bait and glide bait style baits in a bluegill pattern but didn’t have a ton of luck. Finding bluegill beds is key right now as bass are terrorizing the bluegill. Throwing bigger baits and jigs off the beds towards deeper water and throwing wackys directly on the beds worked the best. The bluegill spawn is one of the best times here in Minnesota to catch giant bass as they are feeding extremely heavily to make up all the weight they lost during spawn. Hope this helps and good luck fishing.

Caught fish under docks with a drop shot and Bellows Stick. The new elastomer models don't get the tails bit off by the sunnies like the regular Bellows do.
