Lily Pads
There are only a few areas on the lake where there are good deep pads. This time of year seems like most of the bigger fish are on the outside clumps or way back in the thick stuff. AS summer progresses, you will see on the hot sunny days their deep pads load up with larger fish and son be fun to catch with a fro or a flipping jig. Docks are always adoption as well however they sem to only be good before they spray the lake. After the vegetation dies, there's not much up there to hold fish.

Bass stayed in deeper water until early evening then started making moves up to the fronts of docks. the slow fall of the super fluke then a subtle twitch or two was the ticket to attract big bites..

Find submerge vegetation and cast around the isolated patches. Work the drop shot really slow. One or two twitches and let it stay still.

Threw the Megabass Magdraft 6'' along the edge of grass/vegetation. Throwing this swimbait with a Steez A TW reel and Megabass USA Destroyer Bunker Buster. If you don't have a dedicated swimbait rod, a heavy rig rod will do just fine. It might be intimidating to throw a bait this size but do not let it hold you back. They were choking it!
