Priest was hig that day, following storms that roll thru. Just casted, and let it sink. I started to pop it in the water and let it fall until I was under a flooded tree root. The pit boss was hit on the fall.

Striped BassTechniqueMedium Diving Crankbaits (7'-12')SeasonSummerStructureBaitfishI’ve had a great time this week of staycation. I found the white bass /striped bass feeding in early morning. 5:30-7:00 and caught about 40 today. They would hit any small shad like bait. I was using a cotton Cordell white belly black back small square bill. Also Berkeley shallow diving crank bait. Sexy shad is the color of it.
