Most teams said that they caught lots of keepers and short fish during the day and that most of them were up Shallow. Anglers said they were using topwater baits, square bill crankbaits, spinnerbaits and creature baits to catch their fish. Most said you had to almost throw the bait on the bank and drag it off into the water. The fish were in the first couple feet of water up close to anything that touched the bank.
