Bass along southern and eastern edge were only patrolling shore line not actively hunting. Were skittish of people coming up to shore line. Only fish I caught were on the Western and southern parts of the lake. Both of these sides had wind directly or indirectly on them. They wanted it slow and periodical taps of the Neko. Not a single one wanted it fast or jittery. They were on the verge of spawning more so staging up to.

Went around 7pm when sun was starting to go going down. Started around North western portion and worked bank slowly around till about South eastern portion. Only caught 3 bass in North western portion within ten minutes of each other. I was using a jika rig I made myself They were all on beds or adjacent to them. They wanted it a bit faster but enough time for them to think and hit it. Bass are now getting on to beds. But with upcoming weather they could be pushed off and the current spawn that is happening be delayed till it again warms up. Shimano mastiff held up wonderfully, it did require more effort to drive ewg into the mouths of the bass as they were all caught out quite far.

Cast out as far as possible once the bait hits the water pause for a second before several rapid twitches to avoid weeds. Walk the shore fish will hit if around

Caught quite a few just around the drop offs and ledges with weeds on a simple neko rig. The bigger ones were just past the drop off or ledges. While the smaller ones were pushed up a bit still. Not a lot on beds most had moved off of them.

Would cast out and slowly reel, and give it slight pauses and jigs. Worked throughout the water column and along the shoreline to entice hits. Worked best off drop-off points and around vegetation. Caught mostly bass less than 2 pounds and 1 crappie that was 8 inches

I was there for a couple of hours the other day. We had the best luck with tossing a jig out near some mats or having a fluke slowly go over those same mats. Often they would either bite the jig on the fall as it hit the water. Or after a few seconds of it being worked along the bottom. We did not have the best of luck of getting bites when the jig would be worked closer to shore. The fluke had its best time when it was worked either towards the mats or just leaving the mats. Occasionally it could get a hit, not near mats at all but for the most part, it was best used near mats. The jig has its best time during the evening and before sunset. The fluke was good during the evening, sunset, and twilight.

4 largemouth were caught in total today. Three over a pound and one under a pound. Biggest was caught on a swimjig with a fluke trailer. There was no set spot that really produced just mainly found fish along the bends and ledges. Would recommend going earlier in the day as we had the most hits before 1:30. As the bite has dropped off after that point. Top water did have bites but they all missed.
