Fished a small tournament on 6/7 with 16 boats and we took 1st place with 20.75lbs- we took a 1 pound penalty for 2 of the fish that died in the live well. Unfortunately the biggest was one of them and it would have gotten us big bass for the tournament but can’t count a dead fish for big bass for our rules. All were caught on a strike king 6 xd in blue and chartreuse casting to the top of the ledges and bringing it down the break into 17-18’.

Water was warm but fish were not staged out on ledges yet. Found fish very shallow in 1 to 3 feet of water, usually along submerged brush along creek channel or rip rap. Was able to catch largemouth and smallmouth on both squarebills/cranks in rip rap, small swimbaits over flats with submerged brush and wacky rigged senko around shallow laydowns. For small swimbait used Zman texas eye jighead with small Minnowz plastic.
