Flipped the tube around the inside weed edges and lay downs all morning, managed a few nice ones, most of the bites came off the steeper points, not through the flats! Look for spots the fish don’t have to move far to access feeding shelves and deeper cooler water

Spent the morning burning that chatterbait over the tops of grass, mostly eelgrass, 4-6 foot deep is where it tends to stop growing. This creates a nice edge and natural drop off on the inside or outside weedline, reel just fast enough to feel the jig hitting the top of the grass!
