Additional Info:
The Bigger fish seem to be hiding these last two weeks but a lot
of numbers are coming in. Experienced fisherman are landing 100+ bass daily with the average size being roughly 2-3 lbs.

Many of the bigger fish have been coming deep in about 20-30 feet of water. Fishing deep in the trees with plastics and deep diving crank baits have done well. It seems that the slower you work the crank bait the better.

Many numbers can be caught by fishing close to the bank with top water plugs and also soft plastics rigged without a bullet weight. As the day moves on the fish start to go a little deeper as should the bait you thow.
