Drop shot along weed edges. Cold front came through slowed the bite but there were still a few big perch in that 13-in range.

Shad
Looking for sparse eelgrass that had larger-sized balls of shad in them was the key to finding the bigger largemouth and smallmouth. Making LONG casts with the big Shower Blow was key, as the water was very clear. By using the 40 lb Smackdown Braid you can make long casts and get a solid hook up on the bass.
