My turn for some Redear and Bluegill action. Planning on trying a little ledge fishing for bass. Hoping that they may have started their summer patterns.

I wont fish for bass much mostly gills. My buddy is just coming back today and going back with me wednesday. Slayed the panfish. TVA is dropping water levels back towards winter pool because of the lack of rain so I need to be cautious.
Headed to LSC on the 30th.

Dunno on the bugs. My friend went down there Friday night and came back Sunday and didn't have his cover on. Said plently of bugs on the truck but nothing on the boat. Any tips on ledge fishing? I want to give it a try. I have Structure Scan and that should help.

Couldn't really get on the Bluegill. What I managed to get were on secondary points in 10 to 13 FOW. Structure Scan picked up a ton of beds but they were all vacant. Somes of the beds were out to 6 FOW but couldn't hide from that Structure Scan. My wife was good for about 3 to 4 hours in the boat a day and that was enough. LOL
I didn't really focus on any bass fishing. If I going from point to point with the trolling motor while bluegill fishing I threw a XD5. Probably didn't have more than a few hours bass fishing and maybe caught a dozen in the 2 to 3 pound range. Turkey Bay and Rhodes Bay were the best overall. A lot of boats on the ledges during the week fishing that FLW Everstart.
Randy K. sent me a text Saturday morning saying he was open but with the rain I was ready to head back.
