It took short jerks and medium pauses to get bit. Even then the bites were on the pause and were undetectable, it wasn't untill you jerked again that you knew there was a fish.

Females are prowling for spawning locations and are rather unresponsive. Dropping baits on their heads got no reaction. Eventually found a pattern of quick jerks over darker spots of water with low visibility in the 10-15' depth range. Were able to get 5 keepers and several dinks. Jerkbaits were king, but pulled one on dropshot.

The fish were very active but would not bite a mving bait such as a spinnerbait , rattle trap or jerk bait. The ned produced oover thirty fish with seven over the 14 inch minimum length. That was in a 4hr period. Fish that were active were in the 6-8 ft depth range with lots f weeds.

Many of the bass caught were from under docks. One nice Smallie was caught on the cull shad in 20ft of water under a raft. Two of us were fishing, one under docks the ther trowing out in deep water on the outside weed edge. All the dock fish were caught on the ned rig. One fish was gotten on a Lucky strike jerkbait another on a 3.8in Kiteck swimbait in blue glimmer. 32 fish were caught in 5hrs of fishing before the wind blew us off.

The weather was overcast and calm winds. Fish activity was slow. The fish wanted a large presentation. putting on two flat worms did the trick. One green and the other black.

Early morning before the ski boats get going is the best. My father in law and I have always had good luck using Zoom Finesse worms here.

Started fishing at 8 am and the water temp was 68 degrees. Tried a ned rig with only a few small fish in shallow water 2 to 4 ft. Then tried a couple different square bills without any action. A jerkbait only caught a couple of small fish also. Went to the drop shot for the first time this season and started to catch them. The zoom trick worm was getting the job done. Tried two colors of zoom worms and the green got the most bites. The flat worm did ok but were too costly for fun fishing. Ended the day with a 20 in largemouth that was pushing 5 pounds. Had somewhere around a 13-pound bag, 5 fish limit.
