Pitching and flipping Coffee tubes to both spawning and post spawn fish is working right now . The key is finding the right button willows with some depth to them . Small isolated pockets are better .

Finish 38 overall in the Toyota Series on Kentucky and Barkley Lake. I caught my fish with a Carolina Rig with a brushhog and Dragging a Texas Rig RageBug around stumps and laydowns. Weather changed a little and got cold so the fish pulled back out to the lead in banks head back to spawning flats. Hard bottom is a must.
