Caught this big girl hanging out between two large boulders on the edge of a rock pile. Fish was in 12’ of water, rock pile was on a drop off to 30’. Was able to drop in front of her with livescope and a little dancing of the jig was all it took.

Slow rolled jackhammer just fast enough for blades to vibrate over submerged grass in 4-5’ of water. Caught several this way that day. Spunk Shad does a great job making the chatterbait “hunt”

Stormfront was about to roll through but that didnt stop us for a quick evening trip on the lake. Flipped a texas rigged creature around offshore shallow rock pile. Then as it started to get dark, hit a lily pad field with the stanley top toad before calling it a night.

Playing off this i downsized bait and made long cast over submerged grass in 4-7’ of water. Slow to medium retrieve. Keeping bait above the grass. Was able to capitalize on about 20 over 2lbs today using this method. Worked well throwing parallel to lily pads as well.
