Quick outing before work, the water was very warm! The lily pads are starting to come in, almost breaking surface. Aggressively fished the shoreline with swim jigs primarily, but also with chatter and spinnerbaits. My retrieval was fairly fast, and I only casted to irregularities in the reeds and whatever laydowns were present. Managed to get several over an hour or so doing this. All the fish seem very active, gills were shallow and schools of tiny perch were following my baits.

Weeds are slowly dying off. Fished the submerged vegetation in around 10-12fow. 1/16th oz head with a green pumpkin zman TRD. They seemed keyed in on smaller profile baits, but worked aggressively. Not as much luck with jigs or jerkbaits. I let it sink down and would snap it hard off bottom. Eventually added a small Colorado blade to the back and got more bites.
