Went out to busse for the first time this year on friday night. I saw the weather coming but figured i could get an hour or so in before it hit. So i launch at about 4:30 in the main pool. Caught 7 bass with a 3lber being the only keeper in one hour. The fish were relating to deeper water and were caught on buzzbaits and jig&pigs. water temps were at 74 degrees. Once the t-storms rolled in the bite stopped and the kids wanted to leave.
So i slept in on sunday until 6am and decided to wake up the boys for IHOP and some fishing. Saw the storms coming again and decided to give busse a shot in the morning. Launched at 7:15 and man there were a lot of boats out there. Decided to try deep water ledges rather than shoreline structure since the shorelines were loaded and most boats were hitting the shore also. Caught 3 bass with two being keepers. Both were caught on a 4 inch grub.

Water temps were again right around 75 degrees. Weed growth is not what it was last year. I don't know if the high water levels have effected them or if weed kill was put in but they are very scarce again.
