I fished the back of a creek that was covered with duckweed that had developed. Most bites came close to the edge of available cover. Used grey Horny Toads and Green Pumpkin.

Methodically pitched Ozark Rig=Rage Bug combo in holes along the weed edges. It was easy to fish too fast and miss fish. Also caught northern pike and smallmouth along the outside edges.
