Offshore is the name of the game. Find hard weed edges that are clean or get off the edges of the humps and inside turns. It’s not easy but bites are big when you get them.

This jig and trailer combo was a top producer last week. I would take the jig and toss it right on the outside of the weed structure , let it settle, and swim it back to me slowly. I caught about 10 large mouth using this method.

Bluegill were surface feeding over the top of the weed flats. Throwing a popper created some pretty explosive strikes even if the size was mostly small.

Fishing along the shorelines I would cast close to shore and drag the senko to the edge of the weeds right where the transition happened from clean water to submerged vegetation is when I would get bit. I was using a 7’ ML JTX by JT Outdoor Products paired with a Daiwa Tatula light weight and super sensitive was the key to success!

Go shallow. Weedlines and flats with cabbage in 4-6 feet of water holding gills and you can even sight fish them with a shack. They are finicky but can be coerced with a small Tungsten and spike or waxie. Get away from the crowds and explore.
