Fish were dirt shallow in the spawning bays. they would spawn in groups and would just put the trolling motor on ten and then cover water until I found an area with a lot of them then would pick it apart with a neko rig. the biggest ones were in 4-5 feet of water and would see the bed on 360 before I would cast to it.

In the summer fishing a shakey head on offshore rock piles and humps is a very productive way to catch largemouth and some smallmouth. Also running the bank with the shakey head will catch bass.
