Got pretty choppy so we threw crankbaits off the rocks on the wind beaten bank and caught quite a few. Nothing real big but hooked into alot of fish.

Pitching jigs to edges of laydowns where the water dropped off. Most of the jig bites cane in 5-8ft of water after a few pops off the bottem.

We were fishing Neko Rigs in shallower water, from the bank. To work the Neko Rig, I cast it out, let it sink, give it a couple of hops, let it sink, and repeat.

Bass and Bluegill were visible on structure around the bank. Bass were not very active. I was able to to get some bites working a Texas rigged worm weightless in and out of the laydowns.

Rock Pile
Water Temperature

Water temps ranged from 72-79 depending on where I was on the lake. Air temp was 85, fished from noon-4pm. Fish were relating to rockpiles in 5-10 ft of water. Wind was out of the SW, 8-12 mph. Caught all bass on a VMC Tokyo rig with 5/0 worm hook, and 2 Swagger tungsten 1/4oz weights. I like using the 2 weights on the Tokyo rig so when you drag it & it hits something, the 2 weights clack together & makes a good sound. Setup I used was a Daiwa CC80 casting reel with 15lb Sunline Assassin on a 7'2" MH Shimano Intenza rod.

Won my tournament with 5.94 pounds. Super tough fishing. Found some buck bass making beds in super shallow water around brush willing to bite. Just had to drag your kitech in front of then and kill it when the chased it out.
