Heat wave this past week followed by thunderstorms caused by leading edge of hurricane put fish back into summer pattern. Found majority of fish in 8-12’ of water hugging bottom in submerged grass with hard bottom. Caught this particular fish on the edge of that grass at a large dock in a dark shadow. Last week these fish were all deep in the shallow grass/reeds in 70* water temps. Heading into this tournament I started there on day one and quickly had to learn to adapt back towards summer patterns. Slow working a jig with short casts into the grass and a lot of them did the trick on day 2.

Best fish of the day. Just shy of 5lbs. Caught pitching into tall reeds. Water temp has risen a bit due to abnormal heat wave. Shallow bite to likely die off in the next few weeks as the grass starts to die and oxygen lives in the weeds lowers. This short period of time is one of my favorites of the year.
