Largemouth were caught on either a wacky rig or a Ned rig fished near Reed and cattails. The docks adjacent to these also held fish.

Work the cattails and bull rushes in the south basin. The fish were right up in the cattails. Needed to cast up tight in order to get bit. Fish wouldn't come our from the cover. Also found a few largemouth on docks in the main lake.
