Caught just under 22lbs for my best 5 last Sunday. I was sitting in a ditch pretty much all day just going up and down it. One side of the ditch had standing timber on the sides and in it. There were pulled pretty close to the timber but I could still see them on my scope pretty well. Just toss at em with a minnow and some of them would eat it. I noticed that the ones that were roaming with 2-4 other bass would eat it way better. Go catch em!

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.

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

Was throwing a big glide that got most of the attention with no bites. Worked well to draw in the bass, then threw the spinner to capitalize on the schooled fish.
