I used the the Rapala Freeloader. It is a 4.25" jerk bait style lure that has ribs and a really pointy tail. I did not experience any blue gills but I would think they would bite the tail right off pretty regularly if you are fishing around them a lot. I fished the the same bait all day and it held up great. The Jig Head is a VMC Hybrid Swim bait Jig Head in 3/16 oz. You have to spin the bait onto the keeper but it worked great.

Water temp was 62 degrees fish the submerged vegetation 15-20’ water especially steep drop offs. Using the active captain app I set my graphs map settings to have a color pallet of red so any part of the lake with depths of 15-20’ would stand out and this made it super easy to target locations on the maps before I arrived on the lake. Slow rolling a Keitech easy Ayu color along the reeds was good toward the end of the day
