Fish are still suspended and chowing down on schools of bait fish. They move really fast so it is hard to stay on top of them and get a bait in front of them. If you can get a bait in front of them they bite almost every time though. They should be spawning soon.

Been a very tough bite over the last 7+ days, local tournament last weekend was won for under a 20lb bag, most fish were coming off either a lipless crank (Rat-L-Trap, 6th Sense Quake 70, and a Strike King Redeye Shad in shad colors) fished over points and natural chokepoints or off soft plastics (Lizards and worms, either whites, watermelon, or a chartreuse color) along weed edges/grass and stumps, definitely going to be earning any fish that end up in the boat.

Fish rocky main lake and secondary points with shaky heads, ned rigs, and jigs. When shad were present, a jerkbait could be thrown into the mix

Caught a mixture of spotted bass and largemouth out of the grass. In the mornings they were hitting wacky (Smoke Senko) pretty hard then once the sun got up we made the switch to shaky heads (Green pumpkin w/ blue flake) to keep the bit going. I heard of some people getting bits on swim jigs on the grass edges but I could not generate any bites that way. Check out the video for more details.
