Low water levels had the normal bank structure out of the water causing the largemouth to roam rock flats loaded with bait fish.

Loads of smaller smallmouth in 6-8' of water in main lake areas. 6' and shallower in small cuts and coves. Eating about anything that makes it near them. Zoom UV Speed craw t-rigged, Crankbaits for a few of them. Most success was on a TRD finesse worm on a Berkley half head. Sharper and sturdier hook helps out over the typical finesse hook seen on ned-heads.

Recent cold fronts seemed to have moved fish shallow. Rock was the primary structure due to the lake being down several feet leaving most other structures out of the water.

Had a great day in 40 mph gusts. The largemouth were holding tight to stumps and shallow wood. The bite varied between a reaction bite on the fall, and if they didn't strike then you had to let is sit for a while and drag it a couple inches. There were key pieces of wood that I found that reloaded about once an hour. The timing was very important for this bite. The boat was positioned in 1-2 feet of water and the bass were as shallow as 6 inches. Channel swings in the creek that had wood held the most fish.
