Targeted main lake rocky points, fishing very shallow due to wind pushing bait up against those areas. Didn't catch any giants, but had a fun day catching numbers. When the sun got high, we transitioned to dropshots targeting 10-20ft

The choppo in light colors around points and banks upriver were effective early morning. Later in the morning, roboworms in shad and green pumpkin on the dropshot worked in 8-15 ft. Yellow cliff and main lake areas. Topwater should go off soon as the temps come down.

Had a few on poppers early but it died down quick. Best bite was dropshotting the bellows gill in green pumpkin at 15-25 ft in main lake. Berkeley flat worm also produced some bites. Water level still way low but up from last time we were here.
