Points
Found tons of fish off the lake’s only point. They were stacked up just off the top of where the bottom drops from 6’ to 15’ FOW. Cast it from off shore past the school and rolled the crank bait right through them. Caught a bunch small ones and a handful of nice ones.

Lily Pads
Mid May - Water temps are in the right spot, but the main wave of bass have not made the push to the shallows to spawn. Two techniques produced a large number of fish. First slow rolling a 1/4-3/8oz jig with Menace grub around submerged grass & emerging fresh lily pads & stems. Secondly, fan casting a 5" General or Dinger w/ weedless Neko hook wacky style around any pockets of vegetation or visible shallow cover. The spawn should start full on any day.
