Launched at callville bay and fished most of the rocky coves just outside the marina, there i found some pockets inside coves where fish would ambush my jig if positioned correctly. lighting and presentation was key, when they bit, they were quality fish but the bite was slow. 5 fish all day, each around 16inches.

Fishing is slowing down in the afternoons so you want to hit the bays early in the A.M. and move out to deeper water as the sun rises. They are smashing small white surface lures in the mornings and chomping dropshots off ledges and any shade pockets during the day. Slow down, take extra water and tight lines!
