Fish were in the cover in the emergent Vegetation and along the shore near docks. Fishing in between structures allowed for fishing in both types of environments.

Water is still high after some recent rains, fish can be found up shallow in the flooded brush but most were found hanging out in lay downs with access to deeper water nearby.

Fish are in the flooded bushes, flipping Texas rigged craws and creature baits, black and blue or any darker color for the dirty water. Lots of small fish every now and then you find a good one. Hopefully the lake keeps producing and we get some fish of size in the next couple years.

Ended up dragging a swimbait on a drop shot and landed this beautiful 4.75lb post spawn smallmouth off some boat docks, the real ticket was using a Tsunami T Turn Swivel to allow that swimbait to move naturally and separate from the drop shot!

Tried a few swimbaits and the xzone swammer bluegill colored was the winner of the day. Cast and slowly retrieve off the bottom around brush and stumps. Was catching them in the depths between 10 to 15 feet.

Plenty of smallmouth bedding by chambers island. Was throwing this duo realis spybait and doing a slow retrieve over the beds. Works for when drop shots become too common!

Retrieve was fast enough to hit the boulders on the bottom without getting hung up. This same structure produced in other areas of the lake. Water was extremely clear.

Targeted main-lake flats and ledges using an Alabama rig to locate active fish. Followed up with a shaky head and Texas-rigged soft plastic to pick off bass holding tight to the bottom that would not commit to the moving bait. Most bites came from fish relating to deeper structure and showing little willingness to chase. Slow presentations near bottom contact produced the most consistent results.
