Targeted weed patches in 9-14 ft of water and used the Shad Dancer 05 diving 7-10 ft. With the air temps cooling off overnight, the bass wanted nothing to do with the DTs, instead preferring the smaller profile of the shad dancer.

Just work over the tops to submerged vegetation, this technique works well since water is higher this year. Works best if you are running/brushing up against and into weeds a little. Play with your retrieve. If you start snagging weeds every cast slow down your retrieve. If you bump up against weeds. Pause….let the bait rise some, then start reeling. This is usually when you’ll get a strike! Good luck!

Slowly work along weed lines, it was windy as all heck, so I just lined my boat up and let er drift. No need to cas except after reeling in the fish.

Fished mid-morning in 74 degree water. Cast the DT 6 and Berkely Flicker Shad over the tops of the weeds in 8-12 ft of water. Weeds were coming up to 4-6 foot. Found the thick patches of weeds and worked the edges. Fish were hitting when cranking from deeper water back into the shallower water with the weed patches.

Caught a lot of bass on a cloudy/rainy morning by slow rolling a soft swimbait or a chatterbait through the tops of the weeds in 8'-11' of water.

Had to find the warm water to find active fish. Parts of the lake were under 70 degrees. Found 72-74 degree water and weed edges about 9-15 feet deep. Was throwing the DT 6 to go over the top of the weeds. Caught multiple bass and pike.

I caught 20 bass both shallow and deep on wacky and Texas rigs. Green Pumpkin 5 inch Senkos worked great. I targeted submerged vegetation on shallow flats and drop-offs.
