Everywhere on Baby Lk looks bassy. I found the outside edges of the lily pads adjacent to deeper water most productive. Casting chatterbaits parallel to the edges (5 feet out) letting the CB sink a bit before starting your retrieve was most productive. On this date (9/02) there were few bass in the pads but did catch a few on TX rigged purple worm.

Spent a few days on baby lake with the family. Smallmouth were on rocky points and flats with some coontail mixed in. I couldn't really narrow down a specific bait that worked best, i caught fish on the 3 staples though - small swimbait, dropshot and a ned. Swimbait was usually first bait through and got more and bigger bites. Largemouth were plentiful but lacked size for me. Chatterbaits up shallow in the cabbage, and flip around a craw tube there as well and get lots of action.

Smallmouth were roaming on shallow flats and casting a hair jig around could pick up cruisers. It helped to add a chunk of senko to the hair jig to help cast farther.
