I went out last night for about an hour from 7:30-8:30ish. The fishing was great.
I fished a few secondary points and a few docks further back in coves that stuck out further than others. Most around 15-20 feet.
I used my standard shad colored medium sized fat body crank that dives 7-9 feet.
In an hour I landed 3 keepers and 3-4 dinks. Every fish was released, as I only keep blue cats 2-5 pounds.
I had some luck at 6am-7am with top water off of secondary points near the 13mm. I fish off of a waverunner so hook sets tend to be tough, but I'm still managing to hook up. The bass are boiling the water...I cast past the boil and reel through it. Its tough to position and sneak on a waverunner, but a trolling motor rig should get you there.
Can you throw a cast net? If so use cut shad, try heads, difference size body chunks, and fillets.
Have Fun!
If you want to learn to throw a cast net try watching a few U-Tube videos. I taught myself watching U-Tube vids.
I can typically catch cats 10 to 1 on shad versus any other bait. The blue cats typically like shad and they are the best eaters IMO.
