The fish were blowing up on top water in the massive weed flat. Had to find the edges and throw into the middle and work it out. Buzzbaits where the only thing to throw without getting full of weeds. Was also cloudy and I believe that also helped keeping the fish looking up

A buddy and I fished a Tournament on this lake with no experience and found success. We fished docks early on in the morning wacky rigging, and then transitioned into deeper water of 10-12 feet at the weed edge and isolated rock piles using the drop shot method. With no expectations in place, it was an overall fun experience.
