There either was a big weed kill or the spring weeds are dying off and the summer vegetation hasn't taken told yet. Either way, I found scattered clumps of weeds in 4-8 feet, each clump would hold 1-3 fish depending on the size of the weed cluster.

During our last Greenhorn tournament we got our fish on docks using t-rigged Yum dingers. The bass were just starting to show up under the docks. The better limits came out of patches of milfoil in 5-8 feet of water.

Fishing docks on a sunny day and this 5 pounder fell for the jig. I mainly targeted the docks with the most shade.

We just finished a local kayak tournament on the Chisago Chain of Lakes. The water temps are in the mid-70s and the bluegills were actively spawning. I targeted fish that were patrolling bluegill beds and caught a lot of fish that were up close to the bank in the first opening between shore and the heavy grass (4FOW or less). The bigger fish were on small points with sand and lily pads mixed in. The key was working past the outer grass mats to the inside openings as this is where a large amount of bluegills were spawning. 2-3 second pauses worked well to elicit strikes.
