Had a great day on El Capitan on Jun 17th for the ABA tournament and was fortunate to take home 1st place. In the morning I found fish up shallow chasing bait agains large rocks / boulders and was able to catch them on an underspin and senko. I moved offshore from the same area as the day went on and found them on rock piles, where I caught most of the quality fish on a Carolina Rig, which helped fill my winning limit.

There has been a fair amount of rain in the fall of 2019, and there has been some rising water and the fish have stay shallow a lot longer than in years past. A technique I have caught some above average fish on, is a spinnerbait. The spinnerbait can be fished over the submerged rocks and brush and through the lanes created by the exposed brush. Slow roll the bait and make sure to be coming in contact with the cover you are fishing. There may not be a ton of bites this way, but the quality can be there.
