Hit up burr oak this morning and got off to a fast start catching 3 fish within the first hour powershotting grass edges and they were absolutely choking it. Those fish were all d***s so I went looking for a bigger bite. Started to target main lake points in deeper water with the higher water temps and caught another d**k. So I decided to pick up the big stick and go up shallow punching isolated lily pad clumps and managed to find a bigger bite.
