Docks
Weed cutting was happening this week on Gervais, so with the good grass cut, look to docks for decent numbers of bass. Skipping a 3/8 oz jig deep under docks has been the ticket. Don't be surprised if more than one bass is calling a particular dock home.

Trolling at 2.6 - 3.0 mph in 10-14’ of water along weed edges and drop offs was super productive. Pike in this lake are super aggressive, and lots of fun to catch…even the small ones.

Lots of small schools at 12-14 feet deep, sonar helps to find. Drop the ned down, give it a couple pops and enjoy the fight
