Slow rolled over newly emerging vegetation with occasional twitches of the rod tip. Omega Heavy Cover Jig in black and blue paired with the Strike King Rage Bug was my best combination. Also caught LM bass on a buzzbait, a wachy rigged Senko, and Fritside crankbait.

Early morning fog kept the low light conditions well into the morning. Fan casted reeds with a Picasso Hank Cherry buzzbait dressed with a black Zoom Horny Toad. Bass were active in several areas with the same type of vegetation. After the sun broke through I dragged a Keitech Casting Jig with a Rage Chunk trailer to catch bass I could not see. Around mid day I skipped a ZMan Ned rig around docks for additional active largemouth.
