Took wife and boys out fishing, goal was to bass fish while searching for bluegill beds to bluegill fish. Caught 6 pass, 5 of the 6 were all on Neko rigs with the Riot Baits Baton worm in green pumpkin, with a 1/64 woo nail weight. All the fish were up shallow in 4ft or less. Most of the bass were males guarding fry. Saw a few females still guarding some beds, but they were not interested in biting. The long and also largest bass came on a swimjig in about 3ft of water closer to the opening of the cove. Bluegills were in the laydown brush along the bank, most were getting ready to get on their beds as you could see the beds in clearer water in area's. Some also looked like they had spawned out in some places on the lake. Overall caught about 25-30 bluegills many were small but had 10 good ones!
