Laydowns
Caught a small limit pitching to large lay downs on rocky banks near points, channel swings, and transitions. 5-8 feet was the ideal depth. To get bites presentation had to be quite slow and subtle. Fish weren’t interested in a largo shad, shakey head, topwater, drop shot, or larger Texas rig but would grab the 3” pitt boss and not let go.
