    The water is really low, I keyed on docks, seemed to be bedding at the back corners of docks by the walkways and under the dock cables. Skipping docks with wacky rigs then fishing beds with with zoom baby brush hog.

    I did not get there until 6pm and I fished docks. The fish were caught in 6 to 8 foot of water. I caught 27 bass in 3 hours. I was fishing the Senko weightless and the fish were destroying it. It was definitely my best trip of the year.
