StructureOpen Water/Basin

Caught almost everything on Zoom Trick Worm on a drop shot. 1/4oz weight mostly, but did fish a 3/8oz when the wind picked up. Did catch a couple on a carolina rigged Zoom Junebug Lizard. Most fish were in 6’-10’ deep. Water was 80.1 at the start of the day and they were dropping the lake due to incoming rain and hurricane.
