We targeted bass that were related to structure in 10-20 feet. I utilized the Krej with FFS to accurately cast to the fish and count down the bait to the depth they were holding in. The chrome color was key for the spotted bass.

I fished from daylight until 12pm. There was virtually no current. I caught 4 largemouth and 8 spotted bass. 6 were keepers over 14”. Two keeper largemouth and 4 keeper spots. First two fish were caught on a white fluke. Slowed way down and fished a weightless Senko painfully slow and caught 10. Most of the bites came off the ends of lay downs.
