Scanned Rock point to find isolated clump of coon tail on top. Dropped down live scope and saw suspended crappies with bass chasing. I tried various baits but fish only wanted the crank. Weather was clear skies cool and breezy.

Got out on Tonka for the first time in a while and ran around flipping as much deep grass as possible. Fish seemed a bit scattered as I caught them anywhere from 8' FOW to 17' FOW. The key definitely seemed to be finding the thickest grass possible. Overall the jig and Texas rig seemed to yield the same size fish, but I ended up locking the Texas rig in my hand as it allowed me to fish thicker areas more efficiently. Overall, fun day on the water.

We found fish on isolated deep weed beds. I couldn’t get many fish to bite a Ned rig today, but they were inhaling the drop shot. Many of our bites came on the fall. We concentrated on weeds in 21-24’.

It was tough fishing I was there 2 days. Had to weed through the small ones to get the 3+ lbs. Also had a Texas rig for Flippin and a ned rig.
