Went out in the heat of the day. Caught 8 total biggest was approx 2.5lb. Hit every reef on main lake (Bass Bay and Castle Creek) and Zoom trick worm caught 5 on drop shot. Biggest came off reef around 20-30 foot on Bellows Gill hooked up on Free Rig. Biggest fish were all on free rig. 1.5-2.5lb rest were smaller on drop shot. Water is getting warmer so I’d imagine the fish will only go deeper. Also caught a couple striper on 6th sense divine swimbait Pro Shad color. That color ALWAYS produces Striper.
