Fished a part of the lake with a few buddies and caught a bunch of bass throwing a lightly weighted texas rig into the lily pad stems. Caught around 10 bass within the last few casts before dark caught a 5.25lb largemouth!!

This is on Peter's creek area. Definitely need to wade fish. Try to get into the channel. Anything medium action should work. Anything with a flash seems to do the trick. They hit hard when they want it. It's a little grassy so nothing deep diving. Between 3 pulled out 10 plus average 14 inches long bass.

There's starting to hit pre spawn. The males are up shallow but the bigger ones are still deeper. Starting to get Lilly pads and slop on top of water. Frogs also work too.

Spinnerbaits seem to work best right now. Not really a specific spot on the lake they're everywhere. Those seem to be the best colors and trailers that work well with the spinnerbait.

There starting to come closer into the shore. The best time rn is just before dark they get super active and eat. During the day it's best for slow baits.

Try to find some deeper holes with rocks with some grass. Seems to be the best places rn for them.
