I was slowly (.8 mph) pulling these rigs in 18-24’ of water with abouy 2/3 of a nightcrawler threaded on the slow death hook. Caught a few walleyes, lots of channel cats, and a couple huge hybrid white bass.

It was a challenging tournament but seemed to make the most out of the morning bite throwing a buzz-bait down as much bank as you could possibly go. Once the sun got up it was a good idea to go swinging and throw a big jig around.
