We were finding bass in 2-4 feet of water on grassy flats. Mostly submerged vegetation with a few lily pads mixed in. A Berkley Maxscent general texas rigged weightless got the bigger fish to eat. The Keitech swimbait got more bites with a lot of 10-15” bass. The worm got bass up to 3 lbs. by using a twitch twitch pause retrieve. I heard from other anglers the same story. Lots of shallow bass but not many big ones.

The bite is very tough right now with most of the fish being post spawn. I found the fish to be finicky but grouping up on their way back to the main lake after spawning. Our most productive bait was a wacky rig because it would float in front of the bass and finally tempt them into biting.
