There's lots of wake boats, ski boats, and tube boats on this lake. I slowly trolled a bladed jig in 12-15' of water and caught a huge LM (see pic). I caught a couple ~15" throwing wacky along the weed line just before dusk.

Scan around for bluegill if you have side imaging (they look like a honeycombs on the bottom of the outside or around structure such as docks, rocks and weeds). Slowly drag a jig worm, ned or drop shot through them and you are bound to get bit!

The bass weren't going so we switched to crappies and found them in the weed clumps in 4'-6'. Jig and Gulp minnow caught 50+ to 10", all released. Also saw a rare golden eagle in a tall tree.
