The dog days of summer can lead to tough fishing just about anywhere, and Onondaga is no different. But I found some decent success on this lake pitching a wacky-rigged Senko under docks and around thick vegetation for some nice largemouths. Try to focus your attention on the weed edges dropping into deeper water. Flipping/pitching texas rigged plastics or jigs could be another good option as well.
