Drop shot high spots in South part of lake ranging from 14’-25’ deep Used new mustard alpha wide gap hook liked how the shape of the #2 hook fitted the fat 4.5” robo and the fact the eye of the hook gap is sealed There were also lots of schooling bass around you could catch on properly timed top waters.
