Stillhouse is sitting at full pool with stained water in the 2–4 ft visibility range, depending on location. Days have been bright, sunny, and hot, while mornings have started out cool.

The larger bass are coming from submerged vegetation in 12–20 ft of water, with drop-shot rigged finesse worms being the top producer. For better numbers, we’ve been targeting nomadic schools of open-water bass chasing shad. Small weightless soft jerkbaits and swimbaits have been effective, but forward-facing sonar has been essential for staying on these roaming fish.

Big Bass Score = 2; Numbers Score = 4; Total = 6
