It was a tough bite on a HOT day at Lake Belva Deer. The storms from the week dirtied the water and we tried lots of different baits. But I was able to get them biting in the early afternoon on the Twilight colored Trick Shotz from Z-Man on a drop shot. The Vmc octopus hook kept them stuck! Belva Deer has a ton of flooded standing timber and we found them near larger clusters.

The lake is full of curly pond weed. We managed to find a few along the edges with senkos. I was also able to catch a few off shallow wood surrounded by these weeds with a frog. Nothing huge but a fun bite. Most fish appeared to still be prespawn.
