Caught a lot of smaller fish on a spinnerbait but slowed down with a weightless senko and caught better fish as the day went on. They were on the outside edges of the buck brush.

Bluebird day with no wind. Had to slow way down. The wacky rigged Senko did the trick. It was a grind but you had to cover a lot of water and go a while between bites. The mastiff line has been working pretty well. Give this stuff a try. It does well in the knot department.

Started the BFL with a 2 hour fog delay. Tried to hunt them shallow, got a few with the carolina rig along some grass lines. Moved over to some submerged grass in about 10 foot of water and caught a few more with a combination of carolina rig with flukes and a Texas rigged big worm.
