The cadence didn’t seem to matter much but I kept changing it up. They crushed it no matter how I worked it!

Points
Deep weed line points with some sand and rock mixed in if you can find them. Let it soak and you will find them popping out of the weed line can even trigger a bite. Will have to sort trough rock bass and pike but you will come across come good largemouth.

Fished several structures as the night progressed the largemouth moved shallower. Started on submerged weeds with a 1/4 out football jig, Fished pads with frogs, neko rigs on docks, and finished the night off with a popper and a spook in 5 feet of water.

This lake looks great all over the place! Amazing docks, lush pad fields, good lay-downs and stick-ups, and channels can prove to be amazing during the late Summer times. If you spend the time and scan the lake you can find some mid-range to deep rock spines, and piles that will surprise you with smallmouths that you didn't know existed. Most anglers target the largemouth on this lake, but if you get into a correct pattern you can have a very fun largemouth day. There is definitely volume of bass in this lake - but takes time to find the big ones. Good luck!

Look for the outside weed edge and keep it fairly compact, hence why I like the 3/8oz vs 1/2oz swim jigs. For a trailer I really like the Berkley Grass Pig 3 1/2inch in Pearl White/Silver Fleck.
