    The high water has pushed the fish into the flooded bushes. Went out for 5 hours and caught 17 keepers between the three of us in the boat. Mostly on frogs/buzzbaits and a jig or jackhammer in front of the bushes.

    Fished a club event on 7/11. Fishing was tough for me generally target rocks and am able to catch fish but this day they just were not there. Shallow grass/bushes seemed to be the best bite for numbers based on club feedback. The winners caught them deeper on jigs in brush piles I believe. I caught my fish on a spro frog a square bill and 2 on a jackhammer.
