Bass were on beds and cruising around emergent reeds in 3-4ft of water. Weightless rigged Berkley General on reed points, inside corners and edges got huge bites. Fish were concentrated in and around the reeds. Crappies also on beds in the reeds. Small 1/32oz jighead with small minnow plastics cast into openings and slowly jigged back. Sight fishing also worked great for crappies on beds. Another option is a cane pole and dropping a crappie jig into clumps of reeds.

Search around points and humps at 10-12 feet deep. Using a slip bobber, find the weed edge and go to about 4-5 feet deep. Pink headed jig with a white body seems to be key. Weight is 1/32 oz to 1/16 oz for the jig. With this heat, the lake is starting it's algae bloom, so bright colors that contrast the green algae is something to think about. Pink and white color combos are a go to. Mini Mite for the win.
