went up last week for a tournament and cought 7 total fish. my 2 keepers came on a texas rigged speed craw. we went up the river not too far from the buoys. i would get bites off of laydown logs right on the hop over the tree in about 8 feet of water in the morning at first light. i caught 3 on a jerkbait too, fishing miscellaneous points from 10-20 feet of water when the sun came all the way up in the afternoon.

I caught a bunch of Smallmouth and Largemouth on wacky rigs throwing them at every laydown and cattail I could find. I always look for something with Green Pumpkin. The Shimano Mastiff line help up very well going in and out of the laydowns.
