2024 Fatbelly Bassmasters tournament number 2. The bite was tough today. Had a cool down overnight, the water level was super high with recent rains and we had wicked wind blowing east southeast. We wanted to get out on some humps to fish smallmouth but the wind made that very tough. Took shelter out of the wind on the east side of islands and the west bay. I had the most luck on the ned thrown either around docks or crawled along the bottom near sparse weeds and rocks. Some guys found success using frogs for largemouth in the pads.

Was on Alexander yesterday (6-20) and both the smallmouth bass and largemouth bass were going. Smallmouth - In the morning I targeted some hard bottomed areas where I thought they had spawned and found them feeding in 8ft-12ft of water. They appeared to be spawned out and the beds were vacant. All fish were caught on Ned’s and swimbaits. Switched gears and flipped for largemouth the rest of the day. Clumps of grass - in about 6-10 ft - preferably green is where I caught most of my fish. Key was to keep the trolling motor and low and to not get right on top of the grass your flipping. Another thing that helps me is not making really long casts. If I flip 20 ft away from the boat or less I seem to get a way better hooking percentage. I went through almost 5 packs of Strike King Rage tails so that should tell you the bite is good

Fished the outside of the reed islands and had pretty good luck just winding the swim jig. Had good luck fishing the outside of the weed line as well. Green pumpkin/ayu was the preferred color with the fairly clean water the lake has

Found both Largemouth and Smallmouth on the outside weed lines as well as on the multiple humps throughout the lake. Caught a few on the neko rig as well when the wind wasnt too bad but the best luck was with the drop shot. Even found this 39 1/2" Muskie on an off-shore hump with the drop shot.
