in the southern basin the water was high and off color got several fish flipping in dollar pads and water chestnut, had several blowups on the frog but only hooked one and had a pike cut me off. Also fished along rock walls and had good success on the dropshot

Offshore reef and shoals producing nice small mouth bite for numbers. Open water sniper in hybrid goby provided best of both worlds with hair jig and traditional finesse jig features. Don’t be scared of the small thin wire hook, these things can take a beating!
