Main pattern was finding brush piles with fish sitting above them indicates that they are feeding. Second pattern was finding random suspending wolfpacks of 2-6 fish that were NOT chasing bait. Those were the easiest fish to catch. Had 14.4 of all spotted bass.

Riley NuessleBronze AmbassadorSpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueHover/Mid-StrollingSeasonSummerStructureStanding TimberThere was large mouth on some main lake points with standing timber. I caught fish between 6 and 15 feet of water. Using live scope I could find a single fish or a group of fish and they would bite a core tackle hover rig as it was falling. The more fish in a group the more likely they were to bite.
