Very windy day forced me into the marina to get out of the 2-3 foot waves. Fishing was slow but managed to find a pair of bass on the end of docks. One was a nice 4.64 lb Largemouth.

I caught this throwing in rock piles right along the bank. The bass seemed to be in the shading waiting to ambush whatever came their way.
