Hit several spots from shore targeting stumps, lay-downs and over-hanging brush with wacky rigged 5" red shad senko. Cast senko as close to cover as possible and let the bait "dead-stick" for 5-10 seconds. Work bait back using a slow pulse/drag retrieve, dead-sticking again when contacting subsurface wood or weeds. Made several casts to each visible piece of cover before moving to next one. Caught several decent bass (biggest was 3.25 lbs) and two pickerel on a cool, overcast morning.

Quick shore stop towards end of the spawn. Worked weighted wacky-rigged senko along edges of pad patches and flooded shoreline brush. After catching a few 11" to 14" bass, cast senko to corner where pad patch intersected with flooded shoreline brush. After a tense struggle to clear the big gal in the picture from cover, finally landed, weighed and released the bass watching her head back toward the same spot. Pretty nice 45 minute fishing trip!
