I used ned roboworms to catch smallmouth and largemouth bass. Lake is deep and clear, offshore structures are the ticket

Today my buddy and I fished the lake for around 8 hours. We were each able to catch 3 bass a piece, a mixtures of smallmouth and largemouth. Most fish being between 13-16 inches but once largemouth was 18.5". All the fish were caught in a depth of 15-25 foot of water. They were caught on multiple different structures. Rocks, grass, and trees. We used out fish finders to scan for any abnormal bottom compositions that had fish on it. I caught one on a dropshot using a flat worm, a jig, and a Alabama rig. This lake can be very tough in the summer so I am happy with our results from the day.
