Shoreline grass seems to be affected by chemical treatments. Healthier grass appears to be growing in 8-14' off the bank, fish seem to be holding in these edges and were eating finesse presentations (ned, dropshot). Fish also seem to be holding up under docks in VERY skinny water. Dock fish were biting wacky Senko's and Texas rigs skipped into the dark area's. Fish have also been caught running chatter baits in clean water near the big reed island on the west lake.

During the last few weeks in May some bass are spawning and others are done. With water in the 60-65 degree range, target bass in the shallow weed flats with a chatterbait. Look for bedding flats located in shallow bays usually 2-6ft deep with sparse vegetation and hard bottom. If you can find the beds the bass will be near. Cover a lot of ground in these bays and flats and you should have a decent day with the chatterbait as the main lure of choice. Switching to a swim jig if the weeds are dense and the chatterbait is getting hung up can help get a few more bites. You can also throw a spinnerbait in this situation as well if you are more comfortable with that over a swim jig and a chatterbait.
