Post cold front and fishing was tough. Nothing on topwater, crankbaits or jerkbait. Finally found them on points on the main lake. 10-20ft deep dropshotting 6” roboworms in shad type colors worked. Slow almost dead sticking was needed.

This tournament day at T-Bar I was able to land 4 decent keepers on an underspin/swimjig combo made by megabass with a megabass shad trailer. The key to these bites I felt were slowly creeping the bait across the bottom around 17-22ft near humps, points, and walls. Cast, wait, let it drop, then creep it along. mixed bag: both smallies and largemouth took to this approach.

I caught a 3 lb. Bass here 2 months ago. I also caught a 4.4 lb. Bass up the road at the Canal. I was using a chaturbait that time. Something in green, I can't recall. Also greatgolfcrouse down the road a piece is excellent, that is if you don't get trespassed. 😂
