Spent the day with my brother Pitching and Flipping Jigs/Shakeyheads (myself) and Texas Rigs (my brother) into vegetation off of Main Lake Points and running chatterbaits in shallow water offset from bluegill beds where shallow water transitions into deeper water. The Lil' Magnum is phenomenal and is a must have for your jig box! Our pattern was Lilypads isolated from other vegetation on points and isolated cover such as wood and cattails. We had a lot of bites on what would normally be a tough, post frontal day. Our final bag was a respectable 15lbs for post-spawn fish on a smaller body of water.

Conditions were overcast, light wind with a low pressure system rolling through the area. Started off the morning at first light on the water, trolling slowly around emergent grass lines. My partner and I were both throwing top water which yielded no bites. We cruised around the the reservoir junk fishing and targeting fish on emergent grass lines, lilypads, overhanging brush, and main lake points. We caught fish on everything we had tied up except for top water. The MVP of the day was the VMC Tokyo rig with a sweet beaver. Working baits slowly in the thicker Lilypads yielded a few 3.5lbers and more fish between 1.5-2.5 range. Overall a very fun day and a decent bag of about 14lbs.
