COLD! The weather, not the fishing. Sam Rayburn is about to go off. The fish have fallen into the fall/winter patterns and are holding tight to subtle changes in grass (hydrilla). Fishing a "trap" or a thunder cricket got us the two big bites, but the umbrella rig put numbers in the boat. It takes a while to find a group, but when you do it is a lot of fun. Fish grass points, drains, holes in the grass, or any subtle change. The fish will not be far, especially if there is shad running around. Be careful running around, the lake is low!

I was able to find the edges of the grass line with mega 360 and get my boat positioned to where I was casting parallel with the grass line
