Bass fishing is slow. Black bass and some spots are barely biting. Take along an assortment of jerk baits in the black and silver or green and gold combination in both the large and smaller sizes. Docks and points are the places to start first thing in the morning. If top water activity is occurring either out in the middle of the lake or close to the shore, throw a bream pattern Pop R around the docks and work it as close as possible to the dock but be careful not to work the bait too fast. Follow it up with a jerk bait in the same areas and pause the bait several times for two or three seconds before resuming the retrieve. On the points, work both baits in the same manner and concentrate on the whole point, both sides, as well as the drop off area directly on the point. Staying off the point and making casts as long as possible keeping the bait in the water as much as possible. Try the points with a Rapala #5 and #7 suspending Shad Rap in the black and gold or fire tiger combinations. Crank it slow and allow the bait to bump or grind into the bottom whenever possible. A very slow retrieve will be necessary at all times. Pausing the crank several times during the retrieve is also triggering the bite later on during the day.
