Moderate winds, cold air temps, high sun with a little bit of clouds and 62 degree water temps. Decided to focus on the shallow bite. The darksleeper got me the majority of my bites. Perfect way to imitate gobies. I was fishing shallow (4-7fow) rock flats with grass mixed in and good current coming through, I placed the boat right on the edge of the flat and I was casting up-current. Reeling back the darksleeper like a crankbait and the rod would load up as if it was snagged when a smallie picked it up. I tried throwing a squarebill, a jerkbait, a ned rig and a dropshot, but I got most of my bites fishing the darksleepr!

Had an awesome post-storm topwater bite. Big largies were caught. We thought the storm would've shut down the bite, but it seemed like it only turned them on more. The exploded on our soft-plastic topwater baits like it was their last meal. Too much fun !
