Short bank fishing stop working Ned rig around bottom cover (chunk rock, wood, grass patches and a few docks). Caught three small bass (2 smallmouth; 1 largemouth), a few rock bass, almost landed a pickerel but broke line when trying to lift out of water. Biggest surprise came I cast to a dark object over a grass patch next to a dock. As soon as the Ned hit the bottom, the line went tight and after a brief fight the largemouth in the photo was landed. Great way to spend an hour or so after dinner!
