Gills were popping at the surface a lot. Lake is mostly choked out with weeds so it took some effort to find Bluegill beds. It was mostly just getting the kids used to the lake for a future tournament. The bass were cruising around the gill beds and caught a number of them on BFS poppers as well.

Bass were holding at about 15' deep and the edges of weedlines. Lake was treated the prior week, so a TON of dead grass and a lot of lethargic bass. We had some luck with Ned's and dropshot, but overall very lackluster trip.
