      Submerged Vegetation

    Coontail and Milfoil Rule the game on this lake for the most part from early to late summer. Targeting patchy and matted vegetation with a Texas rig weedless craw tube, creature bait or your favorite flipping bait is a consistent way to catch both numbers and size. I rig my Texas rig with a 3/8 to 5/8s bullet weight, a VMC Ringed HD wide gap hook sized to my lure of choice (most often 4/0). Additionally don't sleep on the deep off shore rock piles and sand patches scattered throughout the lake.
