Threw TX rigs and followed up with wacky rig around any laydowns and docks/boats around the lake especially back in coves. Paralleled rock and clay banks with a frittsids jr for some additional bites along with shaky heads in 10ft or less also produced a few more fish. Caught mostly smaller buck bass with a couple larger fish mixed in off the laydowns.

Brutally hot and found water to be significantly lower than past trips. Fished the usuals dropshot, wacky, fluke m, swimbaits with no success. Went out deep fished some timber, open water, and bridge areas and picked up a few using livescope. If fish come up bursting bait have a crankbait ready to toss at them catch largemouth and hybrid bass.

Dink fest! Caught numerous dinks up shallow on drop shot, shaky head, and dragging a small finesse jig on banks with rock and around the lay downs. Caught a few late evening schooling on main lake with the shad rap chasing them down as they were feeding.
