The conditions were two days post frontal, 5-7 mph east winds, blue bird skies, and 6-8 foot of visibility. The bigger bites came off of chunkier rock while a few came from some brush piles. I tried the shallow bite around mid day with no luck, so I went back to rock piles in about 15-25 feet if water and continued to get bites.

The water was pretty stained in the backs of creeks along the GA little river, so I chose to cover water and not try to sight fish. The day was pretty productive with the larger bites coming from shallow pockets located near the creek mouth. There was a 5-7 mph wind with 15 mph gusts out of the north west, and blue bird skies most of the day.
