Graphed submerged vegetation and located the grass edges in 6’-12’ water and pulled the drop shot rigged robo worms. Submerged vegetation with slops and sudden drop offs were the hottest spots. The evening bite was the hottest the bite was constant but a lot of 1-2lb bass.

Water temperature was 57 degrees in the morning and 60 degrees by the end of the day. Bass were schooling in 4-7’ of water. Cranking the hybrid hunter along the bank ripping it through the submerged vegetation doing so as fast as possible to get a reaction bite from the schooling bass. When they slowed down in the schools I worked the robo worm along the submerged grass edges in 6-9’ of water this as a consistent bite throughout the day.
