Makes and some smaller females are up shallow. Some beds. Larger main lake females have not made their way up shallow yet. Largest catches are mid lake, slow-mid rolling burrito at or near bottom with little quick changes in retrieve cadence.

Fish this Buzz style frog over and through submerged vegetation, lily pads and near lay downs. The shuttle buzzing on the water helps them find it in grass. Near lay downs it subtle and they have to come see the disturbance. The bite will be sudden! You gotta love watching one pick off your his bait from the surface.

Swimming the Cut-R worm through vegetation and over cover (lay downs) has been the ticket. Also popping it off the bottom in 6-10 ft is a good technique when they are aggressively feeding.
