Kim City - June 11 - Shallow flooded bite/spinnerbait

[Dock-in-it]

The shallow flooded cover bite has changed for me from manicured lawns to the original shoreline depth (11-12ft at 928) with a certain type of bush/tree. This morning I tried manicured lawns with no success, then tried the front of three docks and each produced but they were short K's.

So I tried a nearby medium slope 'ledge rock' main lake point with isolated cover and had 5 LM in 20 minutes. At that point I realized I had not done enough homework to know which points had a good combination of slope and isolated buck brush/trees on the 917 level shoreline. 

The picture below of bush/tree is by far the best fish holding cover. It is not really buck brush, but a small tree with limited height potential.

Cotton woods, Oaks, Willows,,,, etc are very low percentage targets.

Also lots of fry around....perhaps a combination of bass and shad fry.

[Dock-in-it]

Fished this morning with spinnerbait and had 9 keepers with 4 K's and 5 LM.

2 keepers from manicured lawns, 3 positioned on type of bush/tree pictured above (on a point), and 4 on gravel parking areas associated with docks.

The wind seemed to help the bite this morning.
