Targeted fish out in 35-45 feet of water to start the day, then hit up a post spawn flat where they usually are this time of the year and caught some nice ones on the jerkbait. Vision 110 JR was the ticket because they wouldn’t touch the full sized one. Watched them come up from 20 feet down to come and crush it! Super exciting bite where this one went airborne about 6 feet into the air!
