Once Summer hits on this lake, there are two predominant patterns for quality & quantity of bass bites. Finesse fishing on deep weed edges and bottom transition areas with jig worms, drop shots and neko rigs. Fish light line & often times super slow is the best. Your other alternative is to flip thick milfoil and coontail clumps with heavy punch rigs or jigs and cover water until you can find mini-schools. Natural colors seem best on this lake.

Couple little largemouth and a northern tonight. It was really slow this evening, summer patterns seem like they’ve shut off but they definitely aren’t in the fall feeding frenzy yet. One bass on a frog alongside a dock and the other two hit a chatterbait on the fall.

Weed edges and clumps, wacky dropshot produced quality and several bites and an outkast chicken jig produced biggest bite of the evening over scattered weed clumps.
