There were tons of baitfish with bass feeding on them visible on the graph. I launched at Lime Saddle Marina. I stayed within sight of the covered houseboat area. I let the lure hit the bottom before slowly reeling it in. This small mouth hit the Keitech shortly after I started my retrieve. There were many suspended fish as well.

I used a tiny Yo-Zury crank bait. This was a slow sinking purple lure with a tight wobble and one treble hook. Other tiny baits like Z-Man Micro would do great as well. I love Z-Man products!
