Caught a few good largies and smallies on sand flats and just main creek flats in the first half of creeks. They had to have sun and be windblown but this pattern lead us to a top 5 finish last weekend in our high school derb.

Pea gravel points deep into creek channels seems to be the ticket on this flat calm day. Winds at 1-6 mph, blue bird skies made for tough fishing, but slowing down made the difference. Grass was nearby but very sparse. I found most success in the 10-15ft range. Casting across the point. In cleaner water I used green pumpkin, but anytime I found a little more stain I switched to Junebug. The wind the day before had muddied some areas and was cleaning up as the day progressed. Slow and low, searching for harder spots of bigger rock, when located I let it soak in the case these were deeper bedding bass.
