Found bass under docks. Junebug seemed to be the color of choice. The BFE by big bite baits as well as their craw tube caught all my fish that day. Water temp was 62 in the morning and around 68 mid day when I checked it.

After a few days of more inconsistent bite, today there was definitely a pattern until late morning. You could catch smaller bass on the edges or pockets of matted grass weed lines but the bigger fish came along the lily pads. You had to walk the frog slowly with a few short pauses in and under lily pads to get the bigger fish to bite. At times if you got in the same gap they would hit it 2-3 times if they missed it the first time. If you moved out deeper you had to deal with small northerns slapping at the top water.

Caught one on a wacky rig close to the reed edge, also caught one on a chatterbait on a point.

The heat has definitely pushed the bass further in to cover or deeper. Fished the weed edges again with frogs, and popping lures with almost no success. Moved out deeper to more submerged weeds and utilized a toad rubber jr in the bone color to get the one and only fish. Had limited time due to kids being a long but think a Buzzbait over deeper weeds or pitching the matted grass edges would produce fish if the wind and cloud cover cooperates.

Take advantage of the early hours with foggy conditions! Smaller bass seemed to hit a frog on the edge of matted grass but some of the bigger bass wouldn’t commit or would miss the frog. Switched to a popper and landed this 4 lber on the first cast. Target pockets of matted grasses or edges and work at a medium pace. Also will get a few smaller northern to commit

Water temp was 66 degrees, was able to put together a mixed bag of bass and walleye targeting weedlines and areas of submerged vegetation using the Northland Mimic Minnow.
