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 Electronics to locate the basin fish. I was using my Garmin Live to locate the fish but a flasher will work just as good. Look for soft bottom as the fish are eating bugs. Fish just above the fish and try a cat and mouse approach, by using the keep away, just keep pulling it up and make them follow. I like to use braid with a short piece of mono with a small swivel attaching them or by tying the braid to the mono. If you are fishing at night make sure to use a glow light to charge the jigs. Tip the middle treble with a waxy or a minnow head. Hold the spoon and always put the bait on the back side of the spoon in the middle.

Spent the week on Fishtrap Lake and caught most of my largemouth bass on a Texas Rig with a Zoom lizard. Concentrated on docks and also just past the weed line.

The weed are not to well grown yet so the deep docks have been the bast bet. Some fish were found on points but they were not as big as the ones found on the deep docks

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!
