Lots of rain this year. 3.5" of rain again last night couldn't even get to the lake this morning.Went Friday after a hard rain Thursday night, the bite was slow. The lake's here have been high and muddy all spring and the rain keeps coming. What do Bass do when the lake is already high and muddy and big rain's keep coming? Most of the Bass I did catch were on main point's where deep water meet shallow flat's on a slow moving Buzz bait, two on a slow moving 1.5 KVD square bill.

I like to fish worms in the submerged brush using a little weight as possible.

I'm up north of you (little north of St. Joseph) and I been killing them on hollow body frogs tossed right up on the shore line and drug through the slop

 

I am in the St. Louis area.  I have been doing pretty good on topwaters and jigs.  Plastics, not so much.

I fished mark twain for fifteen minutes yesterday. Its high and muddy. I found bass the first place I stopped. They were hitting big shad shallow. The heat got to me and I could not fish.
