Fished the edges of main lake reefs where weeds transitioned to rock in 12'-15'. Caught numbers on a ned rig but bigger fish were caught on the football jig. Main bait was the Strike King Ned Ocho in morning dawn and it also produced this bonus 26" walleye.

Use your side scan electronics or your polarized sunglasses to locate the beds on the shoreline. Cast over the beds and vary your retrieve and it will drive the bass crazy and hang on when they hit. Tie a 5 foot piece of mono to the braid. Have fun and good Luck!

Had good luck dropping a wacky rigged 5" senko about 6"-12" inside the reed line edge. I used a couple quick jerks to keep the bait high until I crossed the reed edge, then let the bait fall skimming the tops of the weeds until about half way back to the boat. this method out produced every other tactic I worked that day.

Tons of surfacing bluegills and minnows around the whole lake, deep structure can produce some fish but the bigger fish were producing on shallow docks.

First Fat Belly Bassmasters tournament of the season today. Fishing was a little off with all of the rain recently. Caught the majority of fish flipping submerged vegetation in roughly 10' of water. Look for the pockets and flip the craw tube in there. Took 1st and big bass. Overall a decent day.
