Blueback Herring
Found a bunch of fish sitting in 10ft of water right on a ledge. Tried a few different approaches, got some bites on a crankbait, but as usual, getting the jackhammer down there really did it. My best fish in the area was a 3 pound smallmouth that left his herring lunch behind in the livewell.

Ledges
Found a big school of fish around 15 ft of water on a drop off, tried a crankbait and chatterbait with no success, so I switched to a dropshot. First cast got hit immediately and we pulled up a 6 pound striper. We were able to get a couple smaller ones after that.
