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!
