Submerged Vegetation
Saturday May 21st. Cloudy with storms. Temp in the mid 80s, water temp 74. Super tough day on the water. I found a few post spawners moving out of rivers in bends and staging spots with moderate submerged vegetation. Neko rig along the grass edge or just bouncing on the top elicited the most bites.
