These fish were located around bait however I could not get them to eat a standard baitfish profile. They are begging to stage for the pre-spawn and slowly working there way out a steady winter pattern. I changed to the jig to present a different profile then all the baitfish in the area. Just a slow drag is what produced bites. The Outkast jig has a great O'shaughnessy hook on it that really keeps the fish pinned well.

Fished the Bassmaster college open and finished in 5th place out of 250 boats. We were fishing a mix of brush and rock, throwing a Damiki at fish on livescope. If there was one fish, there would usually be more. The key was figuring out what the bass were to waste less time catching striper. Although if we were not in the tournament I would have enjoyed catching striper all day long.

We fished brush and stumps that were close to bends off the old creek channels in the creeks that had cleaner water towards the dam. Fished a drop shot and shakey head around that structure.
