Fished a club tournament on 9/2/23 with my dad and we had 16 lbs on a drop shot around the mouth of the Detroit River. Most of our fish came on a Z man Scented Jerk Shad with the remainder being on a Strike King Baby Z Too.

Made a long run on to Erie this weekend for the derby. Bite was very tough but the ones we caught were the right size; catching them in about 16-24 ft of water.
