Fishing along drop-offs where shallow flats descended quickly to deeper water, adjacent to the even deeper main channel. Fished at an angle, coming across and down the drops. Success came when we found healthy grass and scattered brush/stumps at these locations.

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