Seemed like a post spawn funk going on on the lake. Talked with 5 other boats on the water and nobody had caught anything except for a rock bass, so I felt privileged to find two decent largemouth dragging around a roboworm on a weedless drop shot. The grass was ripping out easily and didn't look good, so I am not sure if it was sprayed or something as well. The lake was fishing tough only a few weeks after they were being caught on almost anything. The fish I did find were right on edges of deeper lively isolated grass.

Sun had just reached its peak, I decided to go and flip some hydrilla near a dock. Just let it hit the bottom and hopped it twice. Felt that immediate thud.

I swapped out the factory hook for the mustad alpha point in-line hook. These things are like razors. Super sharp and super strong.

Went out and target some largemouth with a chatterbait! Super successful when targeting brush likes along the shoreline! Ended up with 10 in less than 2 hours! Highly recommend this set up!

Noticed that the bass were mixing in with carp and blue gill setting up around the shade of the weeds. Saw some top water hits as bass were ambushing from the weeds. Slow cranked the Bullgill past some of these weeds and got bit. Retrieve had to be much slower than anticipated, the bass seemed a little sluggish due to the heat so a slower retrieve helped entice them to bite a bit more.

The bass were on the outside edge of the weedline. Lots of vegetation, so Texas rigging Senkos kept the presentation weedless.

The bass were hitting wacky rigged green pumpkin Senkos in 6 to 8 feet of water. I fished out of a kayak as I'm visiting my in-laws.

Inside weed lines produced numerous fish in the 4-6 pound range. Covering water is key as the fish are covering a lot of water as they are moving to their summer home ranges.
