We focused on areas where the clay bank was ending and rocks started as well as lay downs about mid way back towards the creeks. Bait was sitting on the edge of the drop offs with the bass under them. Cast the bait up to the bank and let it hit the bottom. Begin slowly reeling the bait in allowing it to stay in contact with the bottom. Water Clarity - 10” Water Temp - 50° Wind - 12-15mph
