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.
