Fish grass lines and sparse grass clumps in 3-8’ of water. Swimming worms in the same cover mop up less aggressive fish. Wind is helpful for the spinnerbait bite. In less windy conditions the swimming worm was more effective.

Fished pads at low tide with a frog. Caught a few, missed a few. The usual frog fishing. Moved out to sparse grass bay and threw the cut r worm past chunks of grass. Reeling the worm about as slow as I could. Caught a couple of shorts on a dropshot too but nothing culled.
