Notes

Found a pattern and stuck to it. Was catching bass by casting to shaded banks with deep dropoffs. Caught largest fish near laydowns in this pattern. Caught two 17.5" LMB off of laydowns, on the t-rigged trick worm.

Also saw some small baitfish running off the point near the bridge riprap, so threw the bleeding shad rat-l-trap into the area. Banged into some grass, when I pulled it through I got a hit. Landed a ~15" LMB.
