Got a decent limit there and then bounced around on the main channel and picked up some key fish on a Ned rig. A white swim jig and spinnerbait also accounted for a couple key fish later in the day.

Focused on main channel points and rock piles. Fish were grouped up well and we caught several fish off each spot. Ned rigs caught the bulk of the fish but also picked up a few with swing heads and Rage Craws. Later in the evening a black popper also was a key player.
