The bite is very tough right now with most of the fish being post spawn. I found the fish to be finicky but grouping up on their way back to the main lake after spawning. Our most productive bait was a wacky rig because it would float in front of the bass and finally tempt them into biting.

We were finding bass in 2-4 feet of water on grassy flats. Mostly submerged vegetation with a few lily pads mixed in. A Berkley Maxscent general texas rigged weightless got the bigger fish to eat. The Keitech swimbait got more bites with a lot of 10-15” bass. The worm got bass up to 3 lbs. by using a twitch twitch pause retrieve. I heard from other anglers the same story. Lots of shallow bass but not many big ones.
