Launched out of Russo's around 8 and fished the north and east facing sides. Started fishing deeper water (5-6') but moved shallow when there was no action. Tried to force feed them a jig for a couple hours with no takers. Switched to a drop shot just to figure out where they were holding and got bit almost immediately.

Started out with a 6-2 (see video) then a 3 and then a 8 more small bucks after that. Didn't see any bedding fish but it was overcast and difficult to see. Only caught males up shallow.

Thanks Mark!

I use a Tatula 701MFS (7' medium power, fast action) with 10# braid to 8# flouro. Daiwa Procyon 2500 reel. Pretty inexpensive. I think the whole combo was less than $250 a couple years ago.
