Fish have moved out to summer patterns. Ledges, deep points on main channel, bluff walls, and about any piece of cover you can find off shore will be holding a few bass. Sometimes you will have to work through the junk fish to catch one but they will be there. You can still catch them up on bank also if that’s what you would rather do. I go finesse drop shot or shakey head or Neko rig around lay down and docks.

Even though the Mayfly hatch over with, throwing a popping style top water bait around steep banks with overhangs and lay downs is still producing fish. They don’t seem to be grouped up, so keep trolling motor on high and cover water.
