Rock Pile
Fishing a off shore rock pile by dragging a football jig over it. Hardest part was not getting snagged in the large gaps but the profile of the jig helped to prevent that. Rock pile was stacked with smallmouth but size was lacking a little.

River Channels
Work a Ned rig along the rocks until you find fish. Cover as much water as you can. I found fish from tight to the bank to 18' of water. I especially look for water with rip rap or rocks with current on it, or rock with weeds nearby. Don't forget the early morning topwater bite.
