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.

Fished this bait over weeds and on the weed edge. Fish were not quite pushing up to spawn but water was in the low 60’s already!

The large mouth were biting in and around the 12'-14' mark above the submerged vegetation. The real trick was finding the sandy areas amongst the vegetation and slowly dragging the Ned Bait along and popping it into and through the vegetation

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.

Bass were in ~6' water, just inside the dense outer weeds. Once I found them I was able to catch multiple in the same area. A larger green/yellow tube worked best, and I rigged it weedless.

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.

Good size 16-18' LM caught on the weed's edge using a green pumpkin craw tube. The lake association has had the weed cutter out. While the weeds are reduced, there are quite a few floating around right now.
