The upper lake is kind of a puzzle to me. I think I just need to fish it more to figure out patterns. Lucked out and caught one ok-sized largemouth this morning suspended off some rocks in a cove. The drop shot wasn't producing for me so I tried a wacky-rigged Roboworm and that's what worked. I'm a big fan of hook + plastic rigs (without weights) because they look a lot more natural in the water. Just gotta wait a long *** time for that thing to sink down to where the fish are.
I didn't get too much time on the water- by 11am the lice were killing my position (boat is a 1977 Cajun Special and gets tossed by wakes pretty easily). Also, sorry the pic isn't better. I was solo in the boat and managing a rod, fish, trolling motor, and cell phone cam was hard enough - couldn't quite get to my good camera in time and since it was hot I wanted to make sure the fish got back into the water quickly.
