Fish weren’t very active with the heat and water level starting to drop. Found some under docks, banks with drop offs, and some in deeper brush, but never anything consistent. Had a couple bites on flukes, and jerkbaits. Buddies had a few bites on crankbaits and squarebills. Only top water that got any fish interested was a chrome Sebile, but otherwise top water couldn’t be counted on regardless of time of day.
