Was able to get out in the kayak for about five hours this morning. Windy and cloudy. Ended up catching a couple fish on a DT 10 on the deep weed line, but found a very productive pattern walking a bone colored Super Spook. Ended up catching several fish on that, including a few really good ones.

Fish were biting really well today. Caught several larger fish. Started off catching them shallow around wood with s spinnerbait. Then found a crazy good offshore bite in 8-12 foot. They were hanging on the deep weed edge and some were off off the edge a bit on the break lines. Wind was blowing parallel to the ledge. Caught all of those fish on a DT 10 Caribbean Shad color. This is my favorite crankbait color that works really well in mid to deep depths.

The fish are transitioning back to the shallows with the colder nights and shorter days. You can catch numbers of fish using bottom-oriented baits (texas-rigged worms and jigs) throughout the day. However, the larger fish on this lake seem to key on larger forage and big baits will produce bites during the prime feeding windows. Do not be scared to work these baits shallow and slow. Vary the retrieve and how you work the bait to figure out what it will take to trigger the bigger fish to bite.

Even on a cloudy day the LM were camping under or near overhanging trees and docks. Green pumpkin and chartreuse 6" sticks rigged wacky worked best for me.

Ran across submerged vegetation and outside edge. Worked great in the late evening(dusk). I also use buzzbait in early morning, but have luck with all day when it's cloudy.

The algea continues to be heavy on Volney this year making the normal weeds sparse but when you can find them in the 2-5' range working a jig and creature through the weed patches will get some bites. The bass are light colored from the bloom.

I did something new I haven't tried but had the set up to do. I tried the wacky rig and did very well dropping it in matted holes. Depth ranged from 3' to 8' of water. I usually work at deeper levels during the summer, I was surprised how well the wacky rig did. I'm sold!
