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.

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

Fishing the weed edge was the key as most fish were spawning it was tough to find ones that were actively feeding. All in about 8-10 ft of water.

Docks
Water was still cold, but the bass were staging up shallow. Most fish were roaming around the docks. No big fish, but did catch plenty. Always good to get back on the water!

Found fish tight to the weed line. Dropshot and 2.8" Keitech Fat Swing Impact on 1/8oz jighead were the go to baits.

Early June was the very tail end of the spawn, just few straggling bed fish. Finesse was key. Smallies and Largies from 2-15ft depths. Finding cleaner grass clumps mixed with hard bottom seem to be where to find groups of better bass. 1/8oz Ned Rigs & 1/roz Drop shots in natural produced both smallmouth & largemouth. As a back up plan, smaller largies were caught skipping stick baits around docks. Water temps were right around 70F.
