Location: Mid lake, focusing on big rock points leading into rocky pockets. Technique and Lures: Starting early with a swim bait kept high in the water column, almost resembling top water action. Swim bait bite tends to taper off between 9 and 10 AM. Fishing steep walls with a spinner bait, often getting hits on the fall against the wall. Using crank-baits to target fish chasing bait fish in rocky areas, ensuring the bait dives into the rocks. Look for signs of fish activity like bait fish jumping out of the water upon casting. Keep a shaky head tied on for versatility and to adapt to changing conditions. General Notes: Be cautious and prioritize safety during your fishing trips. Stay alert and ready to adjust your approach based on the changing bite and conditions. Tight lines and good luck out there!

Tough summer conditions with water temps in the high '80s. Fish have moved back off to deeper water. With summer boat traffic in full swing maintaining positions on points are difficult mid to late day. Most productive times are very early in the morning 5am to 10:00 a.m. top water on creek miles and lake points produce decent sized fish as the day heats up back out into deeper waters before summertime traffic kicks in full swing at 11:00 am to 7pm

I used a balled up piece of bread on an offset hook, on a MH rod. It put up a pretty good fight, and it loved the bread. My brother caught one with the same rig as well.

Great bait to use with a lot of versatility the smokin shad color I love because I can use it in any type of water condition. Works great on overcast condition but my favorite is when it is sunny because when the sun hits those blue sparkles the bass just eat it up. Just nice steady casting parallel with the rip rap.
