Working areas north west of the islands and the cans for basin fish. Some post spawn and pre-spawn fish showing up, running baits anywhere from 7'-18' feet down in the water column. Look for the slightly cloudy water. Speeds in the 1.2-1.4 range with the cold water temps. Best colors were anything with purple.
