Had to wade through a few small-medium pike, but hooked some decent bass to 4+ pounds. Berkley Square Bull crank also good.

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

We looked for rocks on points adjacent to bluegill beds in 14-16 FOW. I slowly dragged a 1/2oz stealth feider along the bottom with a 7'1 heavy KAGE jig rod and paused after feeling rocks to get bites. Larger isolated rocks produced bigger fish

Was fishing shallow water anywhere from 2 to 6 ft over the weeds. Was slowly retrieving the spinner and ripping it through the weeds.
