We looked for the weed edge and found it in about 14 feet. Throwing the jerk shad up onto the weed flat and working it back produced a bunch of nice fish for us. We picked up a few on drop shots as well.

Fished the MNKFA tourney and it was a grind. Only 8/47 caught a 5 fish limit! I had a few blowups on my Teckel Sprinker Frog, but was only able to hook up one. I also threw a Range Roller with a Evergreen Last Ace, Imakatsu Helter Twister, Duo Snappie Crappie and Dark Sleeper. I was able to get a few pike, but no bass. My 2ndbass(and biggest) was this 17incher on a drop shot in deep weed clumps. I tried an OSP Mylar Minnow and an OSP HP Minnow first without success, and then threw the Geecrack Bellows Gill and was able to get 2 bites. The winning fishermen also won flipping weed clumps.

We found some small fish shallow but much better LMB on the deep weedline around 15'. Drop shots with a very slow presentation got the bites.

Caught fish flipping edges of submerged grass. Fish were active on the surface as the sun went down so frog dominated later on.

Caught fish on the deep weed edges and open patches in the weeds anywhere from 7'-15'. Mostly used a drop shot with a swimbait but also a hair jig with a half-senko trailer. The little northerns and sunnies also liked the baits a little too much sometimes.

2 snake northerns, a largemouth, crappie, and bluegills and sunnies. If you just want to catch fish…Houdini tickler is the ticket.
