Water is crystal clear this is an afternoon bite. No need to get up at 5am. I fished 12-2 chasing bait balls with my forward facing sonar and drop down on them with a medium to slow retrieve š£

Points
Look for baitfish of point or around bridge pilings. Vary your retrieve to see what the fish want, but a standard jerk pause jerk jerk pause has been the most effective lately. This pattern will hold up most of the day but keep the fish honest and check pockets with docks and throw a shakey head. There have been some largemouth being caught in the shallows using this technique.

Key was finding the bait, once you found that I would throw the spybait past the bait ball and keep bait above the bait and the bass would come up 20 feet to hit the spybait.

Points
The fishing right now is amazing. you can find fish anywhere you stop. At every point that I stopped on, I was able to see schools of fish and catch multiple ones. they are biting basically anything that you throw that looks like a shad. There was a lot of schooling action in the morning and all throughout the day.

Looking for birds working bait is a great way to help determine where the bait is congregating in on the lake that day. Start on main lake points and work your way back until you come across bait with fish around it and slow down until they bite.
