Post front conditions and the fishing was slow. We worked the weed edge until we got bites and slowed down. Keep an eye on your contour maps for slight changes such and inside/outside turns with healthy, green vegetation as the fish seem to be tight to cover. We got largemouth in areas where we felt the bluegill nibbling on the ned jigs. Slow down if you feel those bites because bass are right behind them. Pairing a chartreuse jig head with a green pumpkin MG Lures floating wormed seems to work best.

I caught bass on wacky rigs right off the outside edge of the weedline. My buddy John caught and released this 42 inch musky while we were fishing a drop off.

Tried fishing from the pier but the seemed to shallow and warm. Walked along the coasr towards the boat launch and casted along the lily pads right off the boat launch. There were lots of too water strikes visible from the launch and I landed a good one.

Had a tournament out there couple weeks ago. It was hard tourment was culling most of the time but it was only oz upgrades. Best way to find them is get down to the range of 16-20 feet and try to find weed patch’s if you can do that where they will be. I was flipping with a Texas rig with a woo tungsten 1/2 with 6th sense flipping bait that is what worked best for me

Went out for a late afternoon/evening session. We found a few bass in the shallow Milfoil (4-6fow) flipping Texas rigged baits. However, our larger fish came on Frogs in the pads. We would catch them in the thick stuff, as well as on the edges.

Found Bass on the outside edges of the weeds using the Chatterbait. Also picked up a bonus northern at 26 1/2 inches. Found other bass on the flats that peaked out at 10 feet with hard bottom using the Z-man Ned Rig.

The Grass Island that is visible off the launch has a steep drop off on the south facing side of it. I have had great success flipping jigs up to the reeds and dragging them down the drop off. As well as using Dropshots doing this same technique, although the larger fish 3.5- 4+ have predominantly been on jigs. Trailers with a lot of action were best as a lot of bites came on the fall.
