Pitched the 10" Bullworm into the reeds and under the cypress trees and held on for the fun ride. Pegging the weight helped tremendously to keep from getting tangled and allowed me to make more efficient casts.

Despite a 2 mph wind, my biggest fish came on Owners Flashy Swimmer with an Xzone 4" Swammer and also a spinnerbait.

Fishing was tough in the evening. The fish were chasing shad balls all evening, but they weren't too interested in what I was throwing. I caught a few smaller bass on spinnerbaits and swim jigs, but the biggest bass caught finally came on a buzzbait at sunset.
