Took the kayak out on Sandy. Sunny afternoon in late July with a light breeze and pontoons from lake home owners were everywhere. There were quite a few bass up real shallow chasing sunfish. Mostly small bass with a couple big ones on the west end of the lake. A wacky rigged senko worked the best. It made a big difference to skip it up under docks... shade from lily pads or weed clumps also held fish. don't be afraid to throw the wacky rig with all the vegetation. Just be patient when the bass bury themselves in it and don't pull on them too hard. I also found a good school on the southeast (windblown) side of the main basin in 13-15' as well. They were on a pile of baitfish and the senko did the best here as well. Several other baits got multiple bites but the 5" senko was what the bass really wanted today.

Bass are spawning on Sandy. Found them on top of little points where the weed line tapers off. Sunny day, high pressure, some wind and the fish were holding closer to the bottom. Vegetation is currently sparse in the super shallow bays and it hasn't grow much deeper than 10ft yet either. Lily pads haven't come up yet. Working a wacky rig on the edge of the weed line got the bigger bites.
