Super fun day dragging a Keitech 3.5 Little Spider (grn pmp) rigged on a 3/8 or 1/2 oz. Keitech Football head. Best depth was 28 to 33 foot. I'd cast out, let it fall all the way to the bottom, reel in to create a semi-tight line, then drag the jig by sweeping the rod across my front from 3 to 9. Key to the presentation is ensuring the jig maintains bottom contact all the way back to the boat.

Went out late morning and picked up several decent fish around boulders in Duck Bay, as well as on boulder drop offs at the edge of the bay and on Johnson Shoal. Fishing slowly was key, as the bite was not overly aggressive.

Targeted boulders and the deep side of large rock drop offs around Duck Bay. Caught fish on top waters, jerk baits, drop shots, jigs, tubes, and Carolina rigs, but the biggest price was Ned rigs being fished slowly right next to the biggest rocks/dropoffs.

Blue rock tackle Jr tube jig is the star of the show is 3/8 oz. Long casts in clear water and snapping a tube on rock and sand flats did the trick.
