This tournament day at T-Bar I was able to land 4 decent keepers on an underspin/swimjig combo made by megabass with a megabass shad trailer. The key to these bites I felt were slowly creeping the bait across the bottom around 17-22ft near humps, points, and walls. Cast, wait, let it drop, then creep it along. mixed bag: both smallies and largemouth took to this approach.
