This bait was pegged and texas rigged with a titan tungsten 3/8 sinker. Flipping in 10-15ft on a rock pile break in the weed line. Caugh a 5lb 4lb 3lb and a 2lb bass in 4 consecutive casts by letting the bait hit the bottom then dead sticking it for a couple minutes. Then I would hope it up and swim it for a bit with a slow sweeping motion like a Carolina rig. Then repeat that.

Docks
Bite is real tough offshore so I went skipping skipping docks and flipping lay downs. A frog worked sometimes too but still use the senko as a follow up.

Rock Pile
The arashi glide as well as the Jerry Rago cha cha glide produced fish over rock piles. Definitely wasn't the best way to go about it because the day was really slow after livescope went down but this was the only way we were able to catch decent sized fish. Thrown on Cortland Line.

The water has been pretty high due to some rainstorms recently. This has made some of the offshore deep techniques difficult. Best fishing has been shallow.
