Targeted channel swing banks with wood up the river and they were absolutely choking the big swimbait and picked up some fish on a jig and some fish culled off an a-rig. Also got on a fun scoping bite with a Sakamata shad on floaters out deep.

Was a nice day out around 75 degrees that day. I was working a speed worm on a t-rig along the bank targeting tree stumps in the water. Was a pretty slow day, had success slowly dragging along bottom or slow lifts.

Dragging shallow points with the Carolina rig got a few bites. Seems like they were bluegill eaters and maybe a few spawners. But I think they are pushing out to ledges now. Might still be some good bites shallow early morning but deeper points will probably be the deal by midday.

Flipping slow across rock shelves. Fish were in 2’-20’ of water. They were also around docks and wood on the shelf banks. Smacked a lot of largemouth and bigger spots.
