The water was still dropping from the previous day. The bite was slower. Even though I was fishing prefrontal. I switched to a lighter shroomz for a slower fall. This helped with just ticking the bottom instead of holding it there. Still had a good numbers day with more bigger fish.

The river was running 5’6 on the gauge. I started fishing creek mouths but, ended up pushing out to the current seams of the main river. The bite was consistent. There was also a bonus musky but shook off boat side.

I slow rolled spinner baits over shallow boulders uders. This produced multiple fish in the 2-3 pound range. It was a good bite to get onto. The water was slightly stained but running around 4’

The river dropped slightly. It was foggy in the morning. The fish pushed out of the current seams. They were in the shallows rocks in the rip rap. Speed up crashing into rocks was the key to triggering these fish.
