Day 1 - I fished from the state park to Crab Creek along the face of the dunes as well as along the easter portion of O'Sullivan Dam. Day 2 was along Medicare Beach to Crab Creek and the open water in front of the same beach in deeper water. Largemouth were caught in quantity near the entrance to crab creek in shallow and medium depths to 15 feet. Plenty of debris along this stretch of water. Along the dam I hooked everything in less than 10 feet of water. Very poor conditions with the green algae bloom. I picked up 2 trout, perch and a crappie as well. I couldn't find anyone to admit to catching a walleye.

Right of a deep ledge casting and letting it drop to the bottom and slowly bounce it off the bottom. Very windy day white oyster color deep diver crank bait also worked very well.

Boulders

Found a bunch of rock in 25 feet of water just beyond the state park. That was the only thing I caught. Had a few bites but they were probably small fish. Lots of pleasure boats. Manly jet boats. The water is still very low but that happens this time of year

Found lots of good fish outside of crab creek dunes. Dragging 3/4 football head jig with HulaGrub or similar bait. Find the ledges in the sand and cast out and drag slowly. You will feel the waves of the sand. 3-15 feet deep. Also caught a bunch on crank baits along the rocks

Jig bite was on fire! Cast towards the bank and just drag your jig back. Bite was instant! Bass was pushing bait up against the banks and it wasn’t hard to find schools. No real size but fun to catch!
