Had constant success running 3.5inch to 4.5inch soft body swim baits on jigheads about 5-15ft. Allowing the bait to settle after short bursts of burning incited most bite however some hit it on the fall after initial cast.

Fishing is slowing down in the afternoons so you want to hit the bays early in the A.M. and move out to deeper water as the sun rises. They are smashing small white surface lures in the mornings and chomping dropshots off ledges and any shade pockets during the day. Slow down, take extra water and tight lines!
