Tossed a glide bait I’ve been building. Many follows on FFS forward facing sonar around docks and cane piles. Would draw attention with glide bait then follow up with jerkbait. Water is about 10’ lower than normal for dam maintenance. Now is the time to explore the lake for visible structure that would typically be underwater.

Blueback Herring
We made a run up to the river section of Murray and targeted channel banks with rock, laydowns, and a large grass flat. The bass we’re targeting the herring in the mornings so we used the spinnerbaits and swimming worm to target the active fish. As the day went on, we switched to the D-bomb and targeted laydowns and brush to find the larger fish that were looking to ambush a meal.

Still some schooling action going on points and secondary points. But Shallow pockets are producing quality fish with buzzbaits along the banks. When the sun came out drop shot along points and island around 10-15 foot produced a lot of extra bites.
