Stumps
Found a few spots bedding around stumps and they seemed to only want the new hot shot minnow on either a dropshot or a ned rig. On deeper beds I used pearl in order to see my bait but on shallower beds with more finicky fish I used 309 and caught them all within 4 or 5 pitches.

Brush Piles
Found some brush piles out in 15-20 feet that were loaded with finicky fish and all we could get them to eat were the Xzone swammers in 309
