If you got your Ned Rig within a foot of the bank and hopped it on the rocks you were going to get bit. Had to be patient and work it slow to get those extra bites. The OutKast Perfect Ned has the toughest paint I've used on a Ned Rig hook. Caught almost 20 fish on one hook and it's still sharp and no chips.

Laydowns
Water clarity was low and temps were in the lower 80s. Had the most success with a big worm thrown around laydowns next to deep water. Texas rigged creature baits thrown to overhangs also worked.
