Fishing several areas in the lower lake by skipping the 5" senko in the open water pockets between surface vegetation and overhanging brush along bank. Senko was Texas-rigged with 3/0 EWG hook. Six bass, two pickerel and a bluegill were landed.

Quick shore stop towards end of the spawn. Worked weighted wacky-rigged senko along edges of pad patches and flooded shoreline brush. After catching a few 11" to 14" bass, cast senko to corner where pad patch intersected with flooded shoreline brush. After a tense struggle to clear the big gal in the picture from cover, finally landed, weighed and released the bass watching her head back toward the same spot. Pretty nice 45 minute fishing trip!
