Ran the banks and tossed the weightless Deps cover scat along the banks and bridge structures and let it slow sink to the bottom. I got 21 bass by doing this

Mid-day fishing was good on Town Lake (AKA Ladybird Lake). Bass are holding tight to cover and ambushing baitfish. Pitching and flipping into submerged vegetation and skipping jigs under low hanging trees was effective. Water clarity was about 5-6ft, so black and blue or junebug colored baits worked well. In clearer water by the Barton creek mouth, watermelon red and green pumpkin proved more effective.

Falling pressure led to a cloudy and windy day. Got a lot of bites and one big bite. Some hit the small some hit the big baits on the rig. 15yds off shore drifting with the wind and the current going opposite. So im casting up current but down wind. Hitting on the pause. Change up the retrieve. Picking spots with navionics. Use the contours.

15yds off shore fishing submerged trees and grass. Rising pressure made for a sunny less windy day. Hit on the fall of the cast.
