Good outing fishing open flats with weeds. Bluegill and gold colors worked best and most bites came on slow to moderate retrieve ripping through or just above the weeds about 4-6’ deep. Caught 12 largemouth and 2 small pike all but one on crankbaits, other bass on Ned rig in about 3-4’

Water warmed from 47 degrees a few days ago to 60 degrees today. 32 mile an hour wind gusts on top of the major warming trend had the fish chomping. Around docks and flat shallow bays were the ticket.

Fished a kayak tournament last weekend and absolutely hammered the fish after making a move to brush piles. Targeted any structure I could see with a Z-Man Jackhammer and the fishing went from meh to amazing. I ended up catching about 15 keepers (above 12 inches) in the last 2 hours (from 2 PM to 4 PM). I fished quick and tried to hit the windy areas. That made for some frustrating times keeping the kayak in the right spot but I was rewarded with boating fish all afternoon. This is one of my favorite bodies of water after never fishing it until early this summer.

Slow rolling a small swimbait over submerged vegetation was the deal. 12.7 lbs for the best 5 four on the swimbait and one on the jig.
