The drop shot was the big player for us. Leader length was only about 8” but we were fishing in only 8ft of water. Saw a lot of empty beds but still plenty of fish around. Couldn’t get on a “big” bite but got plenty of #’s. Mile Roads of course!

In addition to the ned rig, paddle tail swimbaits and tubes on a tube jig were working well. Air temps were around 70 degrees with mostly sunny skies. Wind was about 5mph.
