Tie on a brown ekins jig, baby brush hog, shakey head and a 7" worm and head down to grand glaize, and slay'em. The big gals are starting to spawn, so you might want to site fish a little bit too, especially around seconday points and near docks. Lower end of the lake is super dingy and mirky so stick to the upper end of the lake.

I'm definitely not a big lake expert. Try to stick with smallies in moving water....2 days ago however, I thought i'd go catch a few crappie off the dock and they weren't doing much so I figured i'd take a few casts to see if any bass were in shallow water.

Was using a tiny torpedo wade fishing the bank and caught 3 nice fish in a 150 yd stretch of water. A 21 "(guessing around 5 lbs give or take), 2 19's and missed several others. All in just a couple feet of water toward the back of the cove. I didn't see definite beds so maybe "prespawn" where i was?

Went back out tonite and took about 10 casts until I broke off a nice fish on the hook set. ( If you think about retying, do it. I should have) same spot.

I just feel bad cuz some nice bass has a big topwater plug hanging out of her maw. ( was barbless though so maybe will work itself out. let me know if it turns up)

By the way, i was around the 20 mi marker, main channel, across from the Grand Glaize bridge.

Go topwater and let us know how it goes.

Friday morning was great with 4 keepers before 7am on the Fluke. Once the sun was up the bite was slow for us. We did end up with 3 more keepers in the evening.

Sat (tourny day) was very tough for us, nothing to weigh. Out of 16 boats the winning team had 17.87 with the bite coming on wacky rig centipedes fished behind docks. The second place team weighed over 16lbs, they were throwing white Senkos off the bluffs. Big Bass of the day, 5.23, came on a crankbait.
