Focused on docks and rocky banks on the main lake at the mouths of creeks and guts most of my bites came from skipping the jig under the dock letting it hit bottom hop it 2 or 3 times an slowly draging it out from under the dock all in all a very tough day 3days of pressure from big bass tour definitely showed itself as the weights and amounts of big fish cought on Saturday were cut in half

Really tough tournaments but managed a nice fish on a black buzzbait in the morning fishing shallow wood. Caught a couple on a trickworm around wood and docks. Best fish came on a 1/10 ned rig with a green pumpkin finesse trd. A lot of small fish that didn’t measure throughout the day on a trickworm as well.
