Slow rolled jackhammer just fast enough for blades to vibrate over submerged grass in 4-5’ of water. Caught several this way that day. Spunk Shad does a great job making the chatterbait “hunt”

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.

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.
