Humps
Used a megabass spark shad on a 1/0 cool Baits under spin. Found a spot on the big bay toward the back end of Whites Creek with a larger hump in 14’ of water near deeper water. There were also nearby stumps with a mound of boulders. Casted from 20 to 25’ away and slow rolled it after letting the bait sink for 7 or 8 ft. Fish were suspended about 5’ off the bottom.

Caught several 12 to 15 inch bass this last weekend on a shakey head which goes against the expected moving bait patter. Found fish against structure and on ledges.

Saturday the 14th, partly cloudy conditions with a 2-5mph wind. Temps mid to high 70s. Water temps 70. On flats of roughly 10 to 15 feet targeting rock piles or cuts a slow bouncing neko rig landed my largest fish of the day. The technique was also productive shallow. The bass were not interested in a wacky rigged worm or shakyhead.
