Fish were hitting in 14 feet of water at 3 to 5 feet deep in front of rock banks. Caught a few schooling on minnows in around 25 feet of water.

Wind-blown points ripping the traps through the outside edge of the hydrilla. It was a very windy day. I caught about 20 fish. They were eating the traps very well.

Blue bird skies and 90 water temps made for a tough bite. All my better fish came on a shakey head with a 5" Yamamoto Kut tail in green pumpkin black flake. The key for me was having the Curado DC, which allowed me to throw a very light rig easily. I used to have to fish this with a spinning reel, but now that I have the DC's, you can throw just about anything, whether it be light or heavy, windy or dead. That DC is the absolute best reel I have ever owned. Highly recommend one, if you have not tried one yet. Sorry for no fish picture, but these 2 trees were so pretty I had to use them. Get outdoors and fish.

Crankbaits and topwaters weren't working. Dropped the finesse worm in and had instant success!

Caught a lot of small fish on a wacky rigged Senko in a creek channel with scattered hydrilla. The Mastiff fluoro performed very well. The Curado DC is amazing to fish with. The wind was blowing and throwing that light wacky rig into the wind was a key. That DC adjusts automatically and is truly the best reel I have ever owned. I now have 2 and am looking to buy more. Worth every penny.

Tough day on the water but most of the fish caught were in deeper water, 10'-15'...it was hard to tell when the fish bit, soft bite for sure...

Keyed on current breaks when the tide was incoming and outgoing. Anytime the tide was strong enough to create small eddies around little points or pieces of wood. Covered lots of water with a spinnerbait to find active fish.

Bite continues to be tough, but if you concentrate on the drains with bait you can catch some decent fish. They are not bunched up but they are there. Focus on the 10-20' depth range.
