It's been a little tougher than normal and tbis last little blast of summer is not helping. We need a good little front and some much cooler nights to get them firing again. The main lake has been better but unless you find baitfish it's gonna be super slow.i would focus on docks on or near points along the main lake. Early and late you can get them up shallower on moving baits but you might have to slow down and fish some slower stuff along the docks.

Thanks for all of the info. We caught 3 - 1 1/2 lbs. One off a dock on a spinner bait and two on main lake points with lipless cranks. Going to try again soon.
