Had the most success pitching a shakey head in less than 5ft of water around lay downs for largemouth. Was also able to target largemouth in 15ft of water suspending over grass using LiveScope. A lighter presentation got more bites - 1/16 oz jighead worked best. Picked up a few more bites dragging a worm offshore around brush piles. The bite was hot in the morning and slowed down as it heated up.
