Flipped some jigs around what was left for weeds. Finding green weeds defiantly helped hold fish. A lot of the weeds are dying fast. Water temp was around 55°-58° in most areas of the lake. Picked up a few on cranks in that 5'-6' of water range.

Fished a tourney out here and actually won it with 12lbs for 4 fish. We were on a really specific pattern all night. finding hard spots in slightly deeper water was defintley the key that night. We drug our dropshots about as slow as you could imagine to just get bites. And drug them around some deeper weed patches. We were mostly on a smallmouth deal, but did catch an occasional largemouth every once in a while. During the summer moths it is so important to slow down your baits, or you simply will just have a hard time getting bit.

Reeds
Several reeds on the south and west side of the lake, flipped jigs and texas rigs into the reeds. Fish were about 5' in the reed line and biting very light really had to feel a bite and then let the line go slack and then slowly tighten up to feel the fish 5-10 seconds later before setting the hook. Fished late in the day until dark.

Humps
Washington Lake with Stella Lake attached is a great smallmouth and largemouth factory! This body of water has gained popularity over the recent years for its better average sized smallmouth. If you get into the largemouth also be prepared for a better average size. With the new pressure from the Highschool and Weekend Warriors series - it can fish difficult at times. One tactics that seems to work even in the toughest of occasions is to find some mid-depth humps with an abundance of grass and throw a bladed jig over the tops, sides, and breaks of the hump. You will be surprised how many bites you will get if you pattern that around the lake, or even on sporadic cuts and dives in the weed-lines near points. This lake can be extremely fun or very frustrating - but definitely give it a try!

With over cast conditions & slight breeze, pencil reeds produced many bites on dark colored buzzbaits and hollow body frogs. Fish that missed towpater usually could be converted by pitching a creature bait. Also slowing down and picking apart good areas flipping got additional fish. Docks and tree also produced some quality largemouth on frogs & jigs.
