Weed growth has been very aggressive and much further along than usual for this time of year. Started shallow with a chatterbait working the weed edges shallow to deep and found the larger fish pushed out a bit. Even found a few blue gill starting to relate to beds. Slowed down with a bigger jig and ned rig then really found the nicer fish in the middle of the deeper weeds (10-12 ft) with a drop shot. A few pike mixed in too but good numbers and size overall.

Found the fish on the first break in 5-9' of water. Some were on the inside edge of the weed line others were on the deeper edge. Bluegill spawn was starting. Fresh beds with fish on them in 1-3'

Docks
Look for docks that are located in shallow flat areas with a hard or sandy bottom. Start by flipping a tube all around the outside before flipping under. If you don't get bit right away, reel in and cast to a different spot.

There were a lot of small fish on the deep weeds but there were a few coontail patches in 16 or 17 feet which held some bigger fish.
