Threw out about 20 foot from the bank in 8-12 feet of water. The big ones were hitting the neon cranks all morning.

Wasn’t really fishing for catfish but this one was hungry obviously. Was just throwing out a chrome spoon with a little feather over the hooks. Works for a lot of different fish. About 30-40 feet from the bank in little pockets.

I focused on areas about 30-40 feet from the bank. There’s good vegetation and cover around the bank areas and makes for hot spots for fish.

The water was down about 6’ for a storm coming in. Between 6am and 9am, it was overcast with light wind out of the west. During that time, I found an area with matted grass and lily pads in roughly 2’ of water. The fish in the picture weighed 4lbs, 14oz and came out of the lily pads for a SPRO popping frog. I caught 3 smaller ones (ranging from 2 - 3.25lbs) using a Berkley popper (shad colored) around the edges of the grass mats.

Noticed some bait fish jumping around about 40 foot off shore so I decided to follow them and throw this medium diving crank towards the bait fish. Caught a couple little largemouths.

When the bass are not playing ball, sometimes you put on a spoon and catch whatever is biting. In this case, it was the "Yella Bass".

Caught this one pretty quick just using a bright orange and green crankbait. Found some open spots near the thick grass.
