First the bad news....mussel inspections have finally made their way to my lake. Good news is they're using commons sense and just inspecting boats to be sure they're clean. At this point, there's no special stickers, dry dock requirements or chaining your boat to the trailer nonsense. Now to fishing. I know this is supposed to be the dog days of summer...but Bullards is still fishing so strong. Check out the banks in the background of my picture. Set up at about 35-40 feet depth off the banks and crush them with a jerk bait or crank bait. Then move in a little and mop up with a shakey head, Texas rig or drop shot.

Wow...things are changing fast out here. All summer, I've done so well offshore on extended points, with crank baits and jerk baits....not so much now. So I went exploring into all the many coves trying this and that, and when I finally got around to a drop shot, it was on! They were definitely relating to submerged rock piles. The juggle minnow is so realistic looking on a drop shot. They just can't lay off it!
