Kind of an odd day but managed to put 12 in the boat with several lost fish and a pile of other bites in 4 hours. With the water being in the 60's and on the rise I expected a solid shallow water bank bite but it didn't pan out. Instead the fish were all on isolated structure 20-40' off the bank. I worked down the bank junk fishing and keeping an eye on scope, as soon as I saw a stick, stump, or boulder I'd flip a t rigged stick worm at it and have a bite. I did pick up a few running a dt 6 and jackhammer by them but they wanted they keyed in on the t rig much better. I went searching for big staging females out a little deeper and found them, but I could not get them to bite. Picked up a few smaller ones strolling a freeloader but it wasn't very productive.
