Snap jigging the buck tail and flukes on 1/4oz heads in 4-7 FOW along with slow rolling the Keitech produced 3 limits. Finding green grass was a real plus, but the fish were up eating in the wind.

Shallow warm water especially muddy bottom has a pretty good amount of fish hitting top water so if the sun is shining find a calm bank and throw a frog!!

FInd where the green cabbage meets the pencil reeds, they were stacked in the points and corners. Jackhammer with a speed craw did most of the damage, picked up a few more with a senko. Tons of fish, some places it would be 20-30 fish spots nearly coming on every cast.

Fishing the pencil reed/cabbage transitions for staging fish. The more green the vegetation, the more fish that were present. Had to cover water, but fish were usually grouped up once you found them.

Lily Pads
Shallow flats with emerging lily pads. Cruising fish and fish on beds. Fan casting a soft senko and mixing in a frog for post spawn bass that are in attack mode. Belly weighted spark shad is also a great option and comes through the pad openings and lanes great.

Largemouth can still be found offshore on hard structure. The key had been finding mixed cover, with isolated weeds mixed in over rocks. Launch a big hair jig around to cover water and imitate a big cisco, and drop shot down when find a good boulder with some weed!
