Notes

Fished the Yum Dinger wacky rigged on o-ring. Caught the 14"-er bouncing the dinger in between 2 parallel laydowns in 6 to 8 ft of water, working the worm parallel to the laydowns. Had a few bites in an isolated stump cluster, but didn't manage to hook into anything.

Justin found a pattern where he was fishing tall standing timber in shaded banks. He managed to land 12 fish in the same time where no one else was landing anything. Largest was 16".
