Caught this big girl hanging out between two large boulders on the edge of a rock pile. Fish was in 12’ of water, rock pile was on a drop off to 30’. Was able to drop in front of her with livescope and a little dancing of the jig was all it took.

Stormfront was about to roll through but that didnt stop us for a quick evening trip on the lake. Flipped a texas rigged creature around offshore shallow rock pile. Then as it started to get dark, hit a lily pad field with the stanley top toad before calling it a night.
