Pretty slow, the water level is really low but it is pretty clear. The bass in the picture is one of two that I caught in three days of fishing. Both were caught on spinnerbaits with Googan Squad Bandito Bugs as trailers. Most fish that we were marking were at around 8-13 feet down, suspended in about 20 feet of water around all the stumps.

Shad
Running shallow main lake and secondary clay points first thing in the mornings has been really hot and have been receiving 2 or 3 really good bites. Then searching down the bank in pockets in the large creeks for spawning fish as the sun gets up and then back to the points as the afternoon comes around as the fish have really been feeding first thing in the morning and afternoons on Shad on the points.

Shad
In the morning I focused my attention on the shad spawn with a swimbait and a jerk bait. Then I would run shallow cover with a swim jig for spawners after the morning shad spawn was over. I caught a few key fish off of beds I found covering water with my swim jig. The last day a square bill produced for me on main lake points. This whole tournament was about adjustments each day.
