Bass are beginning to settle into summer patterns and are increasingly grouping into schools around submerged vegetation in 5–15 feet of water. Neko-rigged creature baits have been producing the most reliable action, while topwater stick baits have been a great option for targeting active fish feeding higher in the water column. Anglers who spend time covering water and locating productive stretches of vegetation are finding the best success, with opportunities to catch multiple fish once an active group is located.
