Bounced around from main lake to coves today, focusing mainly on laydowns. Most of the bass came from main-lake wood cover. I was hoping the rain and cloud cover would help the bite but the bass (at least where I was) were holding tight to cover. I used the Xzone adrenaline craw jr on a 3/0 flipping hook and a 3/16 flipping weight to catch the majority of the bass today. Pitching it in and around wood. In between laydowns, I alternated from the Xzone ned zone and true center stick and caught a few that way as well.

Fished main lake 45-degree rock banks for about 3 hours. The largemouth were holding in 10 to 15 feet of water. I used the Xzone ned zone in green pumpkin purple on a 1/15 green pumpkin jig head. It was a very soft bite this trip so line watching was key. I did a lot of deadsticking too. The bass didn't seem to want the ned zone moving much.
