Fish were pushed up on shallow mud flats and future lillypad fields. Some working on bedding, many roaming in and around huge schools of mixed panfish. Wacky stick baits managed to entice a few, but a fluke style worked better to pull in active fish and draw interest from more passive ones. Also managed a few post spawners and bonus pike in nearby areas with fresh weed growth on shallow cranks and hard jerkbaits.

Millfoil is filling in and slop is thick so bring your big sticks. Picking at the weed edges and flipping into holes in the slop pulled out a few fish, but had the best luck looking for schools of bluegill that were sunning a few feet into open water outside of weed edges; bass were hanging out below them. Some could be coaxed up to hit a stop and go topwater, but dropping a texas rig (either worm or creature, both worked) through the bluegill swarm and into the bass's face was more repeatable.
