I was finding fish in 20-30’ of water on main lake points. I was using a 6” straight tail worm on a drop shot setup. Morning dawn colors seem to be working best.

Morning topwater bite is still going strong. Bass chasing bluebacks off main lake points. When topwater bite slows down I changed to subsurface a rigs and deep cranks. If they didn’t want those powerbaits I’d go finesse with a drop shot worm.
