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.

We were fishing in a shallow/mid depth cove, from the bank. The area we were fishing had rock and some brush/laydowns. The conditions were windy and overcast. When I cast the lure, I let it sink slightly, and then did a straight retrieve at a slow to medium speed. I lost one bass and caught one bass.

Shad
Where we had the best luck was in a windblown cove. The shad were getting pushed into the back and the walleye were about 10' from shore in about 5' of water. The best lure we found was a soft plastic swimbait in a shad color.

I was using a Neko rig, from the shore, in the shallows and caught a bass! My retrieve was casting it out, letting it sink, giving it some hops, and then letting it sink again. I was fishing an area with some big rocks, and some logs/sticks. Using a weedless Neko hook would be a good idea around the logs and sticks.

Rip Rap
Water Temperature

Water temps ranged from 72-77, had a 10 mph south wind throughout the day. Fish were on riprap in 2-5' of water. Caught all fish with a Owner Flashy Swimmer (1/8 oz, silver willow blade) with a 3.5" Yamamoto Swim Senko in Chartreuse/White. Nothing huge on the bass side, all were about 3/4 lbers, got a nice bonus walleye that was about 16".

We we’re fishing from the shore and I was using a Neko rig. I cast it out to the flooded brush/brush piles and let it sink, watching my line on the way down in case a fish took it on the fall. I then hopped it and repeated the process. I caught two bass, one of which was a really decent 3 lb. 8 oz.!! I hope this helps!!

Was able to find some bass holding in submerged timber offshore. First time using the Yamatanuki and I was impressed. It was getting fish to bite when other techniques were not.
