I found countless smaller bass roaming weed edges in depths from 6-15'. Larger specimens were predominantly present in the shallowest and deepest edges of the range. Medium swim baits were also effective fished just above the weeds.

Fished in the afternoon on a relatively windy day. Began the day in the Northwest corner of the lake targeting weed edges on drop offs at 10-15'. A mix of crappie and bluegill were present, but if you allowed the bait to drop to about a foot off the bottom, you were almost guaranteed to hit crappie as the bait moves through the weeds. It is necessary to pick through the small ones to find keepers, but there are plenty of great fish to be had.
