Fishing on windblown banks where bait can be marked on your graph. Fishing in anywhere from 2 ft of clear to stained water to 15 ft. Throwing on 10 lb line with a cranking rod of some sort that is easy to jerk on. Fish should be busting on bait around you, and you'll get bit.

Found a ton of bed fish around docks. Some were catchable others were super finicky. Caught most of my fish on a texas rigged senko or wacky rig around and under docks. Lots of spawning fish
