Fished a club tournament on the Upper Bay and did quite well. I found fish in and around eel grass beds on flats with water depths on 1 to 3 feet of water. I caught a quick limit, surprisingly during slack tide, on a Reaction Innovations Skinny Dipper in Sexy Shad. I rigged the Dipper on an Owner Beast 6/0 Hook with a 1/4 ounce keel weight. I later upgraded my limit with a 3lb, 5oz largemouth that I caught on a 3/8oz Z-Man Jackhammer in BHite Delight. I also upgraded a few times with a Zoom Speed Worm that I rigged on a super-sharp Mustad Alpha Point Alpha-Grip 3/0 Finesse Hook.

Fishing along drop-offs where shallow flats descended quickly to deeper water, adjacent to the even deeper main channel. Fished at an angle, coming across and down the drops. Success came when we found healthy grass and scattered brush/stumps at these locations.

Most of my fish came in the early morning hours. The bite started with a chatterbait but as I moved into more shallow water with thicker vegetation it turned more towards a topwater toad bite

In the early morning hours I was able to catch several fish on a chatterbait, burning it out of cover. As the day went on the bite got tougher and I was able to get a few more hits and the biggest fish of the day on a wacky rig senko flipping in around piles of wood.
