Crawfish
Fish were up shallow in the morning feeding and slid out to deeper structure and grass on deep flats later on in the day. Fish were not wanting to move as much once they got on structure meaning you had to put your bait right onto them and let it drop through them.

Laydowns
In the early days of fall, try throwing a black buzz bait along lay downs and points in the Obey River arm of the lake. This is a great tactic for an early morning bite!
