Best fishing on rocky points. Topwater in the morning was a blast.

Overcast day with a breeze. Started on deeper structure... points, humps, steep breaks and caught a pile of small fish in 18-30ft of water on ned rigs and drop shots just about anywhere I went. Found bigger fish up on top of the shallow rocks in 2-6ft on water. Lots of 2-3lb fish with some 4's mixed in. Most of the better fish hit a pencil popper. Walking it aggressively was best. Not so much speed but getting the most out of each twitch so the bait would thrash to each side triggered fish to bite. The ned rig also put some good fish in the kayak.

Jigs and Texas rigs around inside weed edges was the deal for 18lbs and solid top 3 finish. Wanted the shallow bite to work, but the numbers and size were already on weedlines. Bluegill beds were a bonus when you found them on 360 on weed edges

Windy and cold! Lake was behind as far as weed growth and the fish were in the spawn funk. Caught a bunch of dinks and a few 15 inchers
