Notes
First time on Swift Creek Reservoir. Band the shore/docks with a spinner and jig with no luck. Threw both under one of the Genito bridges with no luck. Fished in 3' to 8/9' for the most part. Tried the main channel, throwing the jig and spinner. Found a couple of ledges that went from 8' to 13' but saw nothing on the sonar nor did I get a bite. On the way back to launch, I found a couple of laydowns. Water is deep on the nearside of the lake (compared to launch site). Water drops off to 10'+ within 20 feet of the shore.
