Bluegill
Targeted the scattered clumps of milfoil and coontail with sunfish beds scattered among them. Slowly, extra slowly, dragging and pausing a soft plastic jerkbait across the beds and through the weed clumps produced numerous fish, adding a few gentle twitches on slack line proved effective in coaxing bites out of some of the bigger fish. The sunfish will absolutely blast your bait the whole time it is down there, just maintain the extra slow drag and pause with some subtle shakes here and there.

Throwing poppers and plastics are always a good bet to catch them at prior lake. I only fish prior on cooler cloudier days when there is not so much recreational activity. Plenty of docks to fish
