I used Forward Facing Sonar and Mega 360 to find flooded brush in 20-30 feet of water and hung a damiki rig about 1-2 feet off the bottom where potential fish may have been. Fish would be grouped up and come investigate the damiki rig. The xzone hot shot minnow would go to work on the damiki jig head as you hold it steady making the fish bite.

Cool morning, very foggy till about nine, made our way to the docks and started working our way around pitching between the boats and empty slips, no luck till we got closer to the bank end where we could get under the dock a little farther and had some floating debris they were hiding under. Got four in the boat, lost two more by the end of the day.
