The grass is really growing in the lake this year, I was able to find some rock piles hidden in the grass and those seemed to be my best areas. I was swimming a hair jig over the top of the grass and that produced some good fish.

For numbers of bass (not necessarily big ones) I looked for isolated vegetation in 14-16 fow and slowly worked a wacky drop shot. Also caught a few flipping weed edges with a jig and t rig.water temps were still only 70 degrees and the water was as high as I've ever seen it, with more vegetation than I've seen too.
