Michigan lakes are choked with vegetation in the summer and that’s where the fish are. Fishing that submerged grass can be challenging. I like to stay on top of it by fishing a lightly weighted weedless fluke. The Houdini color from Zoom imitates bluegill perfectly and the twist lock hook from owner helps me not tear up the nose on flukes with every fish. If you like to fish flukes you need to try this combo out. Tight lines!

Not much action. only 3 largemouth a smallmouth and a perch were caught. the smallmouth came in 15 feet of water the rest came in 4ft or less. The smallie came on a drop shot rigged with a d-worm wacky hooked. The first largemouth was on a d-worm on a weighted wacky hook and the second largemouth was on a Manns wake bait, chrome and blue. My buddy caught the last largemouth on a twin tail Yamamoto skipped under a dock. His perch also was on a drop shot black flat worm. We fished from 7:30 to 1:30.
