Caught good numbers of fish in bank grass around the sides and backs of pockets on a swim jig. I was throwing the fluke more so on long main lake points to catch a few better quality fish in the afternoons

The entire lake is currently in a state in which you cannot do wrong. If there are fish nearby, they will eat. Skip wacky rig under docks that are 6-9 foot deep and let it soak, do not give too much action. Fish had the tendency of biting halfway to the bottom. Try a combination of different angles on every dock, the bass can be picky but they will bite if you present it right. I had success skipping at a 45 degree angle from the front to the far back post. I also had success throwing a junebug Ned Rig and allowing it to hit bottom right in the center of the dock platform. If they don't hit it after 3 or 4 hops reset and try again. Throw crankbaits to cover open water between docks that are further apart. if you see flooded timber perpendicular to the bank, bass will stage about 1/3 of the way between the end of laydowns and the bank.
