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.

This lake is something special to me and I hate doing this but I’ll give a little juice. The bluegill beds are popping right now. Go out and find them, some produce way better then others you just have to try some things out around them and you will get bit
