I had best luck when I found hard bottom on points. I caught a couple dragging a Texas rigged worm but caught biggest of the day on a green pumpkin flat worm.

Was having a super tough day out on the pond and could only catch 10 inches on a trd. Later in the evening I saw some cheese and it wasn’t even mapped because of the standing timber EVERYWHERE. But it was a like 4-10 ft off the end of this tiny point compared to 20-30 ft off the bank near it. (It’s hard to find shallow banks) I could hear bluegill popping in the cheese floating over the stumps. I was twitching the frog very slow but still walking it. Typical frog setup, 7’ 3” Hvy, Fast Gear Ratio Reel, (7:5:1 or above) and 40 lb Suffix 832 Braid.

It was a low volume bite day but the bites I did get were quality. The large mouth were in timber with best depth being approximately 10 feet. Slowly dragging the jig was best presentation for the day.

Caught a trophy Muskie fishing a jig off a wind blown ledge. Lost a second one on same set up. They both hit my jig when I popped it off the bottom.

Key to todays bite was finding the right mix of standing timber and the proper depth of the grass line. When those two thing met it was lights out. The grass line was growing out to about 7-9 feet right now and if you were able to find standing timber right along the grass line and flip a jig with a Venom Lures better beaver trailer on the back of it you where in for a great time.

It was an extremely tough day but I caught a tiny fish on jerk bait in the morning and then nothing for 7 hours and started throwing a 3.8 green pumpkin swim bait because the water was so clear and started casting next to some standing timber and caught a three and a half!
