Using side imaging and mega 360 to find rock piles we started dragging shakey heads over them and ended up with a limit of quality fish

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
