Awesome day on the water with post spawn spinnerbait bite. Several fishing are behind the grass on main lake points with rip rap. Cull though the shorts to get a 16” keeper. As the sun got high the bigger fish were caught in front of the grass in the clearer water. Ended up with 14 keepers best 5 were 16.48. Caught over 40 fish. Lake is health with small non keeper fish but super fun day with that many fish

Working the EVO Chattetbait over the top of grass around the bank and near drops got some decent bites! The lake is really choked out with grass so fishing over the tops of the grass lines is an effective way to cover water. Rigging the gilly sideways helps keep the bait up high in the water column.

Another good day on Big Marine. I caught 19 bass and my buddy got 19 also. We found them in 3 to 6 FOW using green pumpkin Senkos. The biggest was 19 inches. All of the big fish were post spawn.

Found some nice bass out here. Key is finding the warmest water Temps possible. I was able to sight fish a few. That rod and reel above is the best Jig rod I've ever found so be sure to give it a try!

Fished for walleyes out here one afternoon. Caught most in 8-12 FOW. Just in sandy points. Was using the scented jerk Shad as I didn't have any of my walleye gear with. So I pulled out my smallmouth stuff. I just let it sink to bottom and then snapped it back to the boat. Worked Well!

Fished 2024 opener out here. Was quite stingy and the fish were in a weird stage. Did most my damage in 10-14 FOW of rock humps. Check out the setups I have included and that rod and reel is seriously the best drop shot combo I've ever felt. And check out the flat worms. They just flat out catch em!

Found some submerged vegetation near some docks. I hopped the Baby D Bomb and would let it sit for a little bit. I saw my line jump and set the hook. VERY fun fight! 🤙🎣
