Numbers were hard to come by. Above average size however. Fish super slow in isolated grass clumps.

Had a tournament here this past weekend. Caught several fish in sparse pads with a Spro flapping frog. Mid day I went out and fished the deep weed edge with a squarebill in about 6 foot of water. Caught a few more along with a pile of pike.

Great start to the morning. Largemouth and northern pike were munching on the buzzbait. Throwing up to a shaded shoreline in 2 foot of water got many strikes.

Casting slow presentation swim jig was my only way to get those fish to commit. Got a few short strikes on moving baits.

Only caught 8 fish - most of them on a topwater following the shade line in 5-8ft of water (outside of lilly pads). Also caught a few with a texas rigged stickbait around docks. Clear bluebird day with low wind made it tough.
