State finals! We thought we had it all maped pit after practice with carolina rigs but then on day 1 we only caught a catfish. So for day 2 we switched it up because we were seeing lots of shad and caught our 4 dinks on a square bill. Hard tournament for us, lots of lessons learned, but overall we were just happy to be there. Cant wait to do it again next year and this time we know what to do.

The fish just finished spawning, and are hanging out a little deeper! Slow rolling a chatterbait is the way to go!

Never found a solid pattern on this outing. I caught a 14 on a deep crank on a drop off, a fat pre spawn 19 on a main-lake point with a half ounce flipping jig and this nice healthy 20.25 fishing a bluegill colored jackhammer around bluegill beds I found on sidescan. Filled the rest of my limit with a shad patten jackhammer

Great trip! I thought 16 bass in 5hrs! Swim jig over matted weeds and if they missed the swim jig I followed up with a Neko rig! Hookup ratio on a frog was bad
