Caught a majority of my fish on an Angler Assets Table Rock Shad spinnerbait early. As the sun came up, I switched to the swim jig and a jack hammer. Fishing flooded willows with clear water. The better stretches of willows had deeper water and an overabundance of bait in the area. The lake was stabilizing and even dropped some on day 2. This pattern was good enough to win my 3rd Illinois Bass Federation Championship
