Dropshot worked well with a hazedong shad along the 8-15' breaks near spawning flats. Fan casting spark shads also got some nice sized fish.

Fish were sitting on the edges of rock piles waiting to feed. They were extremely finicky so u had to be patient. Did not get many bites but the quality was there. Best five went 24.31 lbs.
