Ended up working a frog first thing in the morning off of a long tapering point coming out of a spawning marina. Had 4 blow-ups on the scum frog in the bluegill pattern. Later on in the day, ended up going to flip mats after the sun became higher and put my St. Croix Victory rod to work.

Fishing the shoreline near underwater points. Walk the dog slowly. A popper will work too. The largies would come from under the dock and unload on the popper or walking bait.

After finding maybe the only section of grass that wasn’t killed off due to it being sprayed, I was able to catch a few 4.5+lb fish. The secret was finding the eel, coontail, and milfoil mix to catch these fish. The spike it really helped just hardly dipping the claws of the bait! Made a big difference
