Went out for daybreak before 4th of July weekend to beat the boat traffic. Saw some fish breaking the surface but couldn't get a topwater bite. Weightless texas rigged senkos, and lightly weighted texas rigged worms inside boat slips and on dock edges did the trick.

Docks
Targeted shallow docks in weed flats just before dusk the other night. It was right after a cold front so the slow presentations worked best. A Texas rigged senko did the trick, with some dropshot mixed in.
