Brush Piles
The lake is high and there are large numbers of bass pushed up in the flooded timber and old shoreline brush. Start early with a popper above the flooded grass to catch feeding fish in the morning. Then, transition to flipping brush in 8-12 FOW as the sun rises. You will also find large numbers of un-pressured fish in the shallow flooded areas if you can get back there. Work through the flooded trees looking for heavy shade with laydowns.

Went out at 6:30am. Not my much action in the water. First cast of my top water dog onto the bank and through some grass I had a hit but was unable to set the hook. Not a single bite for the remaining four hours after that.
