TechniqueShallow Diving Crankbaits (0-6')SeasonSummerStructureSubmerged VegetationThe lake was sprayed for weeds recently and was experiencing an Alge bloom. Fishing deep only produced small fish on the drop-shot. The best fish were shallow, 2-4ft of water over the top of weeds.

Largemouth Bass
TechniqueWacky RigsSeasonSummerStructureStanding TimberLate summer morning and the bite was tough offshore. Found some largemouth on tree stumps close to deep water. Caught a warmouth as well. I was pleasantly surprised at how well this bait performed let it jsink shake the rod, lift and drop, then watch your line. You can see the line jump when they took it. Definitely recommend braid to leader as it will help when watching line. Stay fishy and tight lines!
