Couldnt buy a bite in the early morning, but once the sun started warming up the shallow rock and the surface temp climbed a degree or two the fish would move up into about 6ft of water all on rock. They werent super juiced as the jerkbait and screwhead would get an occasional fish, it still paid off best to be on the bottom crawling a ned rig around. A few fish had some fat bellys on them but I feel like we are still waiting for the switch to flip and them to start feeding aggressively mid column and maybe even try that first topwater bite. It is days away
