Slow rolling the underspin over deep grass! Allowing the bait to tick the top of the grass and utilizing Humminbird MEGA Live to see fish chase the bait and commit.

The entire lake is currently in a state in which you cannot do wrong. If there are fish nearby, they will eat. Skip wacky rig under docks that are 6-9 foot deep and let it soak, do not give too much action. Fish had the tendency of biting halfway to the bottom. Try a combination of different angles on every dock, the bass can be picky but they will bite if you present it right. I had success skipping at a 45 degree angle from the front to the far back post. I also had success throwing a junebug Ned Rig and allowing it to hit bottom right in the center of the dock platform. If they don't hit it after 3 or 4 hops reset and try again. Throw crankbaits to cover open water between docks that are further apart. if you see flooded timber perpendicular to the bank, bass will stage about 1/3 of the way between the end of laydowns and the bank.
