Hey y’all just had tournament here 2 weeks ago, and I gotta say throwing a jerk bait and a square bill killed them. The bass we suspended in submerged vegetation and around trees. Hooked up to some nice fish so I hope this helps

Incoming and slack tide fish were very shallow around cypress knees. I stuck with wacky rig. Coangler caught some on swimming and popper both fished slowly. https://youtu.be/v4TQ_Vdcwnk

Made the run both days to the Chickahominy River and targeted fish in the cypress trees during high tide with a weightless Texas-rigged Yamamoto Senko. Flipped it in between cypress knees and got a lot of bites doing that. During low tide, I moved off the shoreline and focused on the lily pads that were just off of the bank about 40-50 yards or so. Caught fish throwing a Spro Bronzeye Frog and a Z-Man Jackhammer as fish we targeting the shad that had to move out from the shallow flats when the tide went out.

Targeting any rip rap halfway back in the creeks with chartreuse squarbills/flatsides. Largemouth feeding on threadfin shad in fairly cloudy water. When water clarity improved, moved to more natural shad colors. Keep a green pumpkin shakeyhead handy to target shallow flats and cypress tree roots between rip rap stretches. Bite picked up as falling tide current became strongest.

Caught many bass, including a few that had deformities like the bass in the photo.
