Kim City - Sept 2 - shallow bite

[Dock-in-it]

The cloudy mornings (with a few sprinkles) can be pretty productive. Just check out the OMTT tournament results from this past Sunday. With lots of seasoned ozark anglers and ideal weather conditions (cloudy/sprinkles), the number of quality fish was amazing (3# avg for 25th place.... a 4 fish limit). I fished this morning and the shallow jig bite was very productive. I had a limit by 7:15 (3 LM and 2 SM), fishing a 9/16 GP jig in 6 to 15ft. Caught 11 keepers with 9 on the jig and 2 on topwater. I wanted to commit to the shallow topwater bite, but I tried a jig on my first stop and it worked so I stuck with it. I was fishing the jig where extremely flat gravel transitions to deeper gravel bank. 

The backs of some creeks are holding plenty of shad and you can catch a few on a  square bill and topwater. 

The pictured LM was my first cast at 6:25.....so not much light for a good picture.
