Such a great trip. They were short striking the mini max and i ended up putting the 3" zako on the jackhammer and it worked great! I put a video on youtube on this trip if you want to see how i fished it. https://youtu.be/2c4Nobkd3l0?si=qXMMeejOsLZjMJwX

Structure
Submerged Vegetation
Just tick the top of the grass with your swim jig and jerk the rod tip a couple times to produce an erratic action. The reason I’m using a swim jig over a chatterbait is because the water is pretty clear and I want the bait to be as natural as possible!

Shad
Searching out submerged vegetation in 8’-15’ of water tossing a drop shot in the Vegetation and super slowly dragging it out and letting it soak after every twitch. The bass are super finicky right now they are barely hit the bait so a lot of the times you won’t feel it so be ready once the bait is on the fall.

Crappie
Jigging brush piles in 20’-25’ of water jigging them down and then up with a pause before dropping it back down. Keeping 10’ away from the brush piles keeps them from getting spooked especially with spot locked trolling motors.
