The weed lines in areas of White Bear Lake can be fairly deep. Locate some of these deeper weed lines in the 15-20 foot range. Take a drop shot and slowly work the area, the natural colored baits seemed to outproduce other colors. This should produce some quality bites. It is a bonus if you can find weed lines adjacent to rock piles as well as hard bottom mixed within the weeds. These harder bottom areas tend to hold the larger fish. It can take some time to located them but you can run into some decent schools of bass.

A calm mostly sunny day that got hot, up to 87 degrees. Water temps ranged from 76 to 82 degrees. Caught fish with a variety of baits (dropshot, 4" finesse worm on a ned jig, or neko rigged senko) in the 10-15' depth range. But, the quality and quantity of Largemouth bass were biting, oddly, a lightly weighted, carolina-rigged wacky senko - slowly dragging and twitching this hovering off bottom through the coontail in 15ft. That outperformed a dropshot approach all day.
