It was a sunny, calm day on the water, and I was fishing on a dock. Along the bank, there are some laydowns and submerged vegetation. It was a tough bite that day, so I decided to weightless Texas rig a Zoom magnum trick worm and let it fall in and out of the vegetation. A couple casts in, and I felt the bite and reeled him in.

It was a cool, calm night fishing a boat launch that had a reed edge and a deep drop off. I was drop shotting a zoom finesse worm in junebug along the Reed edges. When I night fish, I find drop shot works well if you kind of slowly work it back instead of popping it. I cast it out along the edges again and worked it down the drop off, and then I thought I got snagged, but it turned out it was a 6 lb bass, and the fight was on.

I caught a bunch of Smallmouth and Largemouth on wacky rigs throwing them at every laydown and cattail I could find. I always look for something with Green Pumpkin. The Shimano Mastiff line help up very well going in and out of the laydowns.

The day was a little cool 62 degrees with overcast skies and windy. I was not having too much luck but then spotted bass chasing bluegills around a brush pile. I tied on a vmc spinshot dropshot hook and put a googan baits drag n drop 4" bait in murky minnow on and slowly worked it along the edges of the brush until I got a bite.

Fishing around submerged stumps in flood conditions. Water was being lowered so fish were off the bank. Found the clearest water I could find when the main river was extremely muddy and blown out.

Fish were relating to sand spots and weed patches in 6-8 fow . Shakey heads and weighed flukes were the key to getting bites .

Late Spawn. Punching pads in 1-4" of water. Had to fish super slow. Dead sticking the bait was absolutely key!

The spawn is ON! Located aggressive males on beds searching with a Spro Bronzeye 60( midnight walker). If they missed or just swatted at the frog, I would use my punch set up to get trough the pads and pick em up. My set up for both, was the same. 7'9" casting set up, with an 8:1.1 reel, spooled with Power Pro Maxcuatro in 65lb. 3/8 oz. Flippin weight, tied to a Gamakatzu 4/0 Heavy cover Flippin hook, tied with a snell knot.

This is an extremely underrated lake! I have caught numerous massive bass out of this lake! This was just one of them weighing at 7 pounds, 3 ounces!! There are also massive catfish and carp in this lake making for a great lake for multi species days!

Flipping around the bushes produces the best bites. You might have to flip very methodically and be very precise and it may take awhile but if ya stick to it you’ll catch fish
