Warm water, low water, I backed off the deepest weedlines I could find and scanned for stumps or any logs/brush. Marked most of this structure in 8-12 feet of water, came back through with the compact football jig and started getting more and bigger bites!

Tie on your most confident shallow crank and go to work! Most of my fish came close to shore so try to parallel the rip rap on the MN side of the lake, slow and steady with pauses, make sure you’re making contact with the rock and hold on… these fish will eat at all hours of the day on steeper rip rap banks!
