Caught a ton skipping under the shallow end of docks. Couldn’t resist a good worm. Really recommend the crossover rings!! None of my worms ripped that day and they will continue to rip more lips.

Was a tough day for bites. But this Big girl came out from under a dock and snatched the chatter bait. Also caught a few small ones on Texas rig and a Tiger Muskie on a crank bait

Struggled to get on an early morning pattern but in the afternoon I would position my boat in 25 feet and throw megabass sv-3 spinnerbait and 6th sense cloud 15 crank bait into 5-10 foot over grass and work it down the grass. I focused on points and flats that had grass and standing timber.

Most success was running crankbaits over submerged vegetation and near points. However, I did catch one fish on soft plastics in less than a foot of water. I focused on points, submerged grass, laydowns and ledges. It was a 10 fish day but no real good size to the fish. I am still learning this lake and it has some big bass in it. I have yet to put a big one in the net, have lost one good smallmouth. Summer has a lot of boat traffic and that is amplified on weekends or holidays.
