Caught multiple fish dragging a Carolina Rig with a fluke off main lake points. Look and feel for rock piles. A jerk bait between lay downs also produced a steady bite.

Morning topwater bite is going strong. Caught a few bass on a Zara spook and a pop-r. I was fishing in 10-20’ of water in a flat basin near the river inlet.
