Work a worm in the openings of the weeds and around the docks. The bigger fish came from the heavier cover.

Both wacky rigs and Ned rigs produced fish. The wacky rigs produced the bigger fish. Work them from the inside edge of the weeds (2-3') to the outside edge (10-12'). Wacky rigs produced the biggest fish around the lily pads. I would have stuck with the wacky all day if the wind would have allowed.

Concentrate on the patches of weeds with a drop-shot. Work the areas between the patches with a squarebill looking for roaming fish.

Only had a few hours to get out so kept it simple and locked the wacky rig in hand. Stayed pretty shallow and targeted any wood or structure I could find in 2-4 ft of water. Pattern delivered good number of bites including a nice 3+ lber

Moving baits were the hot bite. Wind was blowing 25 mph and water temps were mid 50’s, so focused on tucking into bays and throwing spinnerbaits on weed edges and along the edge of reeds in 4-8 ft of water. Another key bait was throwing squarebills at shallow structure

The water is clear enough, look for the clumps of weeds and work the edges with a tube or ned rig. Also work the deeper weed edges.
