Bass were in 3-6' of water in the weeds. Best bite was east side where it drops off more rapidly. Sat in 10-12' water and casted toward the shore. I used XZone 6" sticks with laminated chartreuse/green and pink/green. It's probably the green pumpkin that made the difference.

Went to Ann Lake for the first time in 2022. Downsizing our creature soft plastics really made the difference. It created the bites that we wanted. Find the healthiest and thickest vegetation, and you'll find the mamas.

Great kayak friendly lake. Pike were holding tight to cover and hitting chatterbaits with a swimbait trailer HARD. Throw on a moderate action rod with a steel leader.

Got out a bit later last night (6:30pm) because it was so hot. Tried working a frog and flipping some grass with no luck. Got my only bites on a drop shot on the weed lines. Key was to get it in the weeds and work it out. I am still working on my drop shotting skills so I missed a few and had a few strikes as I was reeling it in.

Took the kayak for a morning outing. Used the mini chatterbait with a trailer and tossed it along the weed lines near the dock. Caught several medium size LM bass.

I caught some pike and small bass around the weed perimeter using ned, wacky and tubes. Friends caught larger bass in the lily pads using a frog. That was definitely the ticket for bass this evening.
