A storm went through earlier in the week bringing in a cold front with clear, sunny skies. The bass fishing almost came to a halt. The afternoon was spent focusing on the weed line in about 11 feet of water near drop offs. The submerged point on the west side was about the only place that held somewhat consistent numbers. We were able to catch bass fan casting a Bomber crankbait running right above the submerged weeds and also a Texas rigged Bandidto Bug right below the boat. The bass seemed to be roaming around that point as the bites came in bunches.

Fish were holding in the weed flats near deep water. Still pretty aggressive towards moving baits like chatterbaits and spinner baits. Healthy average of 2-3 pound fish, but not much bigger than that.

Ledges
A simple VMC Tungsten Tubby jig and wax worms. I also ran the same jig and dead-stick with a minnow but the jigging produced more fish.

Got into some nice Crappies while fishing for Bass. They were caught swimming small hair jigs over weeds in 8-12'.

Points
Tossed a drop shot around some deep points. Caught many largemouth, most around 2 pounds. The brighter the color the more aggressive the fish were. Did also manage a 4.5 pound smallmouth.

We worked drop shot rigs through the deeper weeds - 8-12' for largemouth and smallmouth. We managed a two decent pike as well. The fish were really keyed in on the Big Bite Scentsation Smasher in Perch Dinner.

Had good luck fishing weed edges in about 8-10 feet of water. Caught many 2-3 lbers. Bigger fish were all found shallow in 2-5 feet around docks and lay downs.

Some smallies were on beds and some staging. Many still roaming flats right on the edges of the break lines.
