Docks and weed line on the east side of the lake north of the landing held all the fish. Craw tubes in Junebug color worked the best. 1/4 ounce jig also. Cast it around docks and weed lines. Let it sit and watch the line.

Matted Grass
During the summer months Knife lake can produce a phenomenal frog bite. There are plenty of lily pads, matted grass, duck weed and various other areas excellent for frogging. Look for these areas and throw your frog of choice into them. It varies on the day with what color and movement of the frog in which they want. I have caught them primarily on white and black bellied frogs on this lake. The frog bite seems to heat up as the dryer and hotter the weather gets.

Docks
Once the sun gets high in the sky the dock bite really turns on. Weightless wacky rigs fished either fast or slow were working. Okeechobee craw and junebug were the best colors on a VMC Weedless Neko hook.

Fished Knife lake on July 8th from 6:30 am to 3pm. Only managed about 10 fish but did a lot of scanning/searching. My best success came from rock areas making long casts and dragging a finesse football jig through the rock. No giants but solid 3 pounders. Water temp was 75 degrees.

Used the hummingbird 360 to find submerged wood off shore and pitched finesse jigs to them. They wanted it very slow and we ended up catching a bunch of nice post spawn fish.

Found a lot of decent fish on offshore wood over hard bottom in 6-8ft of water.
