Find clear water and we found fish up on beds. Any high visibility colors like bubble gum or white so you can see will work. Beds in 2-8 ft of water. Try back of coves.

Some bass on beds. Up through humbug cove. Crystal clear water down to 25 ft visibility. Rocks off points on main lake holding post spawn fish. 110 jr jerkbaits are great when they are chasing shad schools.

Went out early and it was calm with a lot of bait busting. Only caught 1 over a small channel in 25’ on a walking bait (thought it actually was a striper). There was a lot of white bass and carp activity but the bass seemed lethargic. I did not get any bites on swimbaits or drop shots.
