Mid June marks the Post Spawn period in lakes around the metro. Fish can be in a bit of a funk, but also can be ready to put the feedbag on to recover from the Spawn. While we found a few fish using offshore rocks in 10-15', the majority of our action was flipping milfoil and pad edges in 3-6' where there was good grass. Needed to avoid areas where grass didn't look healthy or it was scummy. 1/2 Texas rigs w/ Ringed 4/0 EWG hooks and creature baits (D-Bombs) dominated both in numbers & quality fish. Several fish between 3-4lbs. 7'4" rods, high speed reels with 17-20lb Fluoro did the job.

Slowly drag a jig worm, ned or drop shot through them and you are bound to get bit!

The lake assn. had the weeds killed off except for the pads and that is where the fish are if you can get to them.
