Flipping hard bottom at the launch ramp and dock pilings at Fountainhead in the morning where I landed 3 fish for 9.5lbs total. Got on the water and we flipped wood on bluff walls next to points. My partner got big fish of the day; a 5lber on a Texas Rig. As the sun peaked in Post Frontal conditions, I moved on to flipping shallow heavy wood in creeks and points while my partner burned a squarebill. Not a ton of bites but we scrambled together a 5 fish limit of 21lbs.

Working an S-Waver quickly over shallow points and bluff walls on a quick outing. Single fish smashed it off of the wall on the pause. The new Bantam is solid and feels great for big baits and heavier duty applications.
