Took 2nd place in a little club derby throwing a floating worm and chatter bait on spawning flats. Sight fishing was tough due to being overcast plus stained water but was able to pick up a 4.68 and 3.45. Plenty of males on beds but didn’t see many females yet.

Caught lots of bucks up between bank and docks on drop shot and flipping. Bigger females came in the 8-10ft range on brush still staging to spawn. Few females spotted on bed. Larger fish all came on the Ned

Found smaller males up on the banks in good numbers, larger females are still out deeper staging. Caught males casting to pea gravel banks. Females could be caught shooting docks under floats or could be found out roaming with FFS. Darker colors seemed to work the best for the mid lake area we were in.

Skipping a wacky rig around seemed to be the bait to catch plenty of numbers with the occasional keeper. Key was running through numbers of fish to get the right bites. Skip to every light spot which was usually a bed and keep the trolling motor on high hitting as many as you could in a day.

Drop shot was fire. Creek channel ledges with steep drops. The fish use the channels as a highway. Wacky shot was the ticket.

Had a great evening fishing the LOZ Wednesday Night tournament. 4 fishing limit we had 16.52 with a 6.49 kicker good enough for 4th place and big bass. Everything was caught on 1/4oz CrockoGator Shakey head paired with a Strike King Bull Worm in Green Pumpkin tail dipped in Spike it Chartreuse. Lake is dirty and they were generating 35,000. Had 7 keepers over 15” mostly in main lake points extremely shallow 2-6ft current based points.
