Keep in mind our lakes are usually crystal clear or clear. Yes, I am aware I can throw a worm of some sort too, but I don't fish worms that often to be honest if I slowdown that much it is a jig I am hammer on a Jig that would been next step after swim bait or maybe swim jig. I do dropshot well who doesn't in north lol.

Natural lake like most of our Northern NY lakes 30 to 40 feet deep at south end, with outlying shallow coves with a lot of grass, it is about four miles long from inlet to outlet. Very muddy bottom there are rock edges, some laydown and a lot of grass, produces some of the biggest Large Mouth in this area, My PB here is 6.86 lbs., 3 pounders are very common. Main forage is Bluegill of the many types, then golden shiners or perch.

So I am pretty proud of myself being able to adjust on the fly now to conditions on the water. The lake I go to I usually go to the North end and have a lot of success using a chatter bait style bait sometimes Slobber Knocker or original chatter bait. This morning it just was not working; the water was more stained than usual, so I tried on a Chartese and white spinner bait caught a couple of 2 pounders, but I usually hammer them here on this weed flat. I was thinking I needed to slow it down a bit and eliminate the noise a bit as well. So, it was the quarter ounce weighted VMC under spin with a full-size White Rage Swimmer swim bait on it that got the job done I hammered them for about two hours, was amazing. Thanks to referring back to knowledge I gain watching BLat's videos, Thank you a ton.

Maybe we can get together? September can be tough or easy depending on when summer breaks if it's still hot they will be deep still but sure can give you some insight as we approach that part of season.
