Casting a 1/4oz bitsy bug jig and net bait paca craw above ledges and letting the current bring it back to me was the ticket. The fish would hammer this as it was bouncing downriver over the ledges and rocks.

Bluegill
Fished a local kayak tournament 7/8/2023. Water clarity was 1.5-2 ft with lots of floating debris. Fish were holding tight to lay downs on the bank in 4-6 ft of water. Spinnerbait with a grub trailer, tail dipped in spike it chartreuse was the bait that got the most bites
