We tried baits on all ranges from top water plugs to jerk bait to dropshot with different leader length, but the answer was slow bottom dragging that day.

Windy day on St Clair but we stayed out of it mostly in Anchor Bay. Some fish are still shallow as there were many boats still checking beds. We opted to stay between 6 and 9 FOW with drop shots and coffee tubes. Not many big fish today but as usual on St Clair the numbers are phenomenal.
