Bass are shallow in the grass. Running a buzzbait over their heads seems to trigger a reaction bite. Poppers and spooks also get some bites. When the wind is blowing a small swim jig works well run through the grass

Early in the day, caught two tiny smallies near docks / rock with a DT6. Threw a Dirty Jigs swim jig with a Rage Swimmer trailer around sparse submerged vegetation to get the biggest one of the day. Caught another one flipping in a mat with Zoom Mag UV Craw. Final one of the day came on a frog. Threw it over a mat on a point with waves rolling into it to fill out a limit.

Practice for the upcoming Colorado Kayak Fishing Club Tourney. Caught one decent smallmouth and two smaller ones. Started fairly shallow and cranked deeper with a Storm Wiggle Wart. This caught two of the fish. The Expride rod is great for feeling every rock and keeping them pinned. Caught one other smaller one on a Bait Cave Customs Cave Swimmer on a 1/4 oz jighead. Still prespawn, but fish were starting to move up.

Water temps reached the high 50's and with that target shallow areas with grass. fish were in 3-5 of water either right along a weed line or tight to cover (brush, laydowns, etc.) Fish the ZMAN Chatterbait Jackhammer with a medium-speed retrieve. Did not necessarily need to add in pauses, jerks, or speed changes to get the fish to bite. The main key was accurately casting along the weedline or cover.

Definite prespawn bite at Boyd Lake. Water is 8-10' low relative to typical summer levels. First cast of the day along the rock, caught a rainbow trout on the new Storm Deep Wiggle Wart. Caught one more trout in the same stretch. Continued fishing the rock. Dad caught a decent smallie on the same lure. I caught a small largemouth on a jerkbait. Found a stretch where the rock came out into deeper water and started getting bit multiple times on the deep wiggle wart. Casting it right on the bank and slow cranking it out to about 6' was the ticket. All-in-all, had a low 80" limit between the two of us with the largest being a 17" smallie.

Target the Marina dock slips. Crappies were suspended in 30ft of water anywhere from 5-20ft. With the Jigging spoon, rip it hard and let it free fall until it picks up all the slack. Only allow 1-3 seconds for it to sit still, you will get bit either on the fall or the pause. Tightlines!

Fishing was tougher than expected. Caught one fish at the back of a cut on the jackhammer, but the remainder were in about 10' of water along large rock portions. Fishing the new Powerbait Football Jig w/ Maxscent Creature Trailer or the Bifflehead w/ the XZone Adrenaline Craw caught the bigger fish off of one spot. One other bite on the DT8 that popped off. Couldn't find them in the emergent vegetation and didn't have any significant bites up shallow.
