We fished docks early on in the morning wacky rigging, and then transitioned into deeper water of 10-12 feet at the weed edge and isolated rock piles using the drop shot method. With no expectations in place, it was an overall fun experience.

We looked for rocks on points adjacent to bluegill beds in 14-16 FOW. I slowly dragged a 1/2oz stealth feider along the bottom with a 7'1 heavy KAGE jig rod and paused after feeling rocks to get bites. Larger isolated rocks produced bigger fish
