Wind had the bait blown into the backs of pockets, I ended up finding a wad of bass grouped up tight on a small secondary point waiting on the bait to get pushed through. Cranking across the point lead to several back to back fish including a 6.2 and several 2-4 pounders. When they stopped biting a crank I dragged a Texas rigged drop shot across and picked up a couple extra bites. I ran this across several wind blown pockets and caught fish consistently.

Some fish on points that are roaming and floating around. Gives you more of an opportunity to catch big smallmouth and largemouth as they start to move off the bank.

A lot of small fish up shallow with bigger ones to be caught. Have to run a lot of water and make a lot of casts to upgrade size.
