Brush Piles
I caught one nice fish today on rip rap throwing a shakey head, but the pattern that really put nice fish in the boat was flipping steep main lake points that had brush on them. My big fish came on brush piles on these points but all were in 10 to 12 feet of water.

Pitch around laydowns and wait for a subtle tick. Bronco is a thick bait so vary your hookset time to find best results.
