Fished the rocks in front of Peach Bottom casting to the shore. Smallmouth hit spinnerbaits and Keitch swimbaits on 1/4 oz round head jig heads right after hitting the water. Floated past the rock wall and continued downstream. Caught 2 nice sized catfish on the Neko rig with the Crush City Hedgehog. Remaining bass came on fishing a black Zoom Trick Worm on a 1/8 jig head slowly near the shore.
