Lots o lots to report. The lake is fishing well from top to bottom. People are catching fish across the lake, on all the baits listed here. Spots are up and chewing, water temps are right to really get them moving. Largies are mostly post spawn and roaming, finding the right ones are critical to winning events. In some parts fish are still in the back, in other in the middle, and others in the front. There is something for everyone. Although I don’t have it listed there is also a good wacky rig bite.

Largemouth that are currently post spawn are actively roaming, reacting to shallow water tactics with jerk baits playing a good role. Some schooling activity can be found on the lake, but it’s mostly hybrids and smaller spots, however there are some schools of largemouth.

Near flooded grass we found small groups of fish here and there that would hit worms if fished really slow. Some big bass still getting ready to spawn. Biggest was 5 lb.
