When it was bright skies and flat, the ticket was flipping brushpiles - shallow and deep. A mix of baits worked, but Zoom Mag UV Speed Craw and Xzone Adrenaline Craw were the better baits. 3/8 and 1/2 oz tungsten weight depending on depth. 15lb Invizx Fluorocarbon. Bass also chasing shad - Strike King Redeye Shad and KVD Splash worked.

Fish were relating to standing timber/flooded trees in 8-10ft. Bites would come after letting the jig sit on bottom for several seconds. The secondary action of the mop jig definitely seemed to make a difference. All bass had red lips
