Pop it really hard and make a lot of noise. Open water was better than grass.

The swim jig bite has been hot! As the bluegill move in to spawn, the bass are eager to fill up after a long bedding season. It’s swim jig season.

We were there for six days . Most of our quality fish were caught on frogs. We also caught a lot of fish on a wacky rig and a Texas rigged senko.

Flipping isolated pencil reeds and cattail clumps with hyacinth mats that had floated into those areas. Also caught some key fish on a bladed jig in open water around those same areas.

water temp 70 air temp 76 to 80 wind South east at 15-20 mph water dirty due to winds and heavy boat traffic from the MLF/tackle wear house tour on the lake pre fishing and tournament. Fish were hard to fine and scared to take a bait, after finding some clean & clam un fished water I was able to fish a wacky rig and boating some fish.

Cover a lot of water fast using a chatter bait, focus throwing around stand alone structure and stand alone reed clumps. When you find one you will find all you can handle. What I found, they were typically schooled up.
