Slowly bumped the lizard around docks and points. Slow presentation with the wacky rig around docks. Fished the crankbait on wind blown points.
Outstanding day for SML. Caught a 4.5 and a 4 lb fish on the wacky rig around docks. On the lizard I landed a 3lb and several more around the 10-13 inch range. My buddy caught a nice fish over 3lb on a crankbait fishin a wind blown point. The key with the soft plastics was definitly making sure you were patient.
