I finished 5th in the IKFC tournament. It was an absolute grind of an event with a lot of pressure from other fishers and pleasure boaters. The top water bite turned in as the sun came over the horizon. It only lasted about an hour or so. I caught my key fish on a frog over the submerged grass close to rock piles. I did manage one on a bone Sexy Dawg in open water in the back of a pocket.

Went out for the evening and caught just under 19 pounds in 2 hours. They were deep in the brushpiles in 10-12 foot of water. Finding these brushpiles on livescope and casting every inch of them.

Spinnerbait produced probably the most, bouncing it off stumps/laydowns and getting those fall reaction strikes.

Found a magical Matt later in the day that had lots of activity going on in it. Was able to get a fair amount of bites in the middle of the day, very high sun.

They seemed to eat it better as the sun started to go down. Also caught some under suspended bait balls on scope on a jerkbait and a minnow.
